Here it is, the full Holmes manuscript with Glover's annotations, index, and many fascinating photographs. The importance of this document for the Lost Dutchman tale cannot be overemphasized. Aside from the unpublished Bark notes, this is really the only Lost Dutchman account that faithfully traces its origins back to someone who knew Waltz.

Bibliography, Notes and Chronolgy

If you read the first book, this is a must read. The manuscript of George 'Brownie' Holmes as related to his son, also a Dutch hunter. This manuscript was mysteriously found in the vaults at the ASU library in the early 70's. As with all things pertaining to the Lost Dutchman mine, a little bit of mystery and a little bit of apprehension as to the complete legitimacy of the writings are to be taken with this reading. But, I have to say it is very compelling and once again Dr. Glover has annotated it, with history and facts. This coupled with the first book should give one a basic history and complete understanding of the Lost Dutchman Mine.
