10 Reasons Why its not in the Superstitions
10 Reasons Why It's Not in the Superstitions
Glenn Rogers
Nowadays, if you want to find gold, you go to an area where gold has been found. Previous prospectors have already located the hot spots where gold can be found, and the mines have been profitable. One hundred and thirty-four years ago, Jacob Waltz gave his clues to his mine, and not one person has found it. People have made the Lost Dutchman story of locating the mine like an Indiana Jones episode. Jacob Waltz never drew a map to his mine. There are no secret codes, no windows in the rocks. It is a simple story. All we have is what Jacob Waltz allegedly said on his deathbed in 1891, dying from probable pneumonia when he was eighty-three years old. I have ten reasons his mine is not in the Superstition Mountains. And I will give you a pretty good idea where it is.
Camp Verde The First 50 Years
Camp Verde The First 50 Years
T.C Noble
This is a historical account of the first 50 years of Camp Verde, Arizona. The history includes nearly all of the Verde Valley. Camp Verde is the oldest settlement in the Verde Valley, and the Sutler’s store was the first commercial building. Those who came here after the store was built used the Sutler’s store for their Post Office, grocery store, information source, and general gathering spot. While efforts were pointed at the Camp Verde story, many who directly affected the town’s development lived in the surrounding areas. These areas are now called Cottonwood, Rimrock, McGuireville, and areas adjacent to Camp Verde. The account begins in 1865 going until 1915 with complete references to places and people.
Jennie's Journal
Jennie's Journal
Wyona Holms Jaffe
The story of the life of Jennie Lee Hawkins Holmes came about as a result of my interest in Arizona history in general and my family history in particular. My grandmother, Jennie Lee, was born in the Arizona Territory in February 1891. She passed on parts of the family history by telling the stories of her early life to her children and grandchildren. She also kept a personal journal, excerpts from which are to be found throughout this book. To preserve these stories for future generations, my daughter Deborah and I began working with Grandma Jennie by putting her oral history on tapes.

Hauser Family Cookbook
2022 Hauser Family Cookbook
Compiled by Kristie Hauser Bright
2022 color edition. Some years back, Brenda Hauser, armed with a tin box, an old wood table, a folding chair and an umbrella, set up at the two-acre sweet corn patch on their property. Corn sold for fifty cents a dozen. She says that it was fun to see people come down the dusty road in their clean white cars and high heels to pick corn. It was such a success that the next year they planted five acres. The tradition of planting corn has continued through today where they plant 50 acres each year...and people still swing by the Hauser Corn Stand in Camp Verde, Arizona to buy corn in the season. They are happy to release the 4th Edition of the Hauser Family Cookbook; of which many feature Corn. Enjoy the rich heritage of an amazing farming family.
