The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Part 1. Written to be the last word on the famous lost mine of Arizona’s Superstition Mountains this book covers the history of Indian, Spanish, Mexican and American occupation in this rugged mountain range and the search for the fantastically rich Lost Dutchman Mine. It is a history of dedication, death, murder, treachery and deceit among the ongoing parade of Dutch Hunters who still search these mountains for the mysterious mine. Glover’s research, from every known source of information, is supplemented by his own personal experiences in looking for the mine, a bibliography, an index, a complete set of end notes and a cross reference to the Hikers Guide to the Superstition Mountains. Virtually every fact has been traced to its source. New maps and clues have come to light and are presented in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars At the top of the list!, November 12, 2002

By	Doug Stewart (WA United States) - See all my reviews

A very handsome book which ranks Glover at the top of the list along with Kollenborn and Blair. You have to read this one if you want to know where Lost Dutchman/ Jacob Waltz research stands today. ...Glover also presents new maps, points to physical clues in the Superstitions, and hints at some of the information that has until now been the exclusive property of eccentric "Dutch hunters."

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, January 7, 2001

By	Michael Dynes (Phoenix, Az) - See all my reviews

Being a native of Phoenix I have been exposed to many book on this subject and this is by far the best. Mr. Glover has truly "done his homework." Most dutchman books simply offer a collection of facts with very little analysis. Mr. Glover offers in depth study with a personal feel. His analyses are well thought out and even offer some new information. This should be the cornerstone in the library of any true dutch hunter. It is also sure to get the blood flowing of even the most skeptical person.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dutchers Dream, April 26, 2000

By	Willaim T. Zacha Sr. (Northen Colorado) - See all my reviews

Dr. Glover is obviously a very well educated man but he treats the reader like a friend with side remarks that both teach and amuse. He gives facts and then substantiates them. I have read many books about this "Lost Mine" and this one is hands down better than any of the others. In fact I am sorry I didn't have all of his facts years ago but now I am too old and not in good enough shape to listen to the blood raceing to once again face those forminable mountains. I know from whence he speaks and his account of a storm recalled a like experence and I laughed out loud at his remarkable desent and can understand what made his move so quickly. If you like mysteries and true adventures read this book. I only gave it four starts because I have never read a five star book! Thank you Dr. Glover!
