Quest for the Dutchman's Gold: The 100-Year Mystery : The Facts, Myths and Legends of the Lost Dutchman Mine and the Superstition Mountains

A fun little book that blends the author’s personal experiences hunting for the Lost Dutchman mine with the historical record behind the legend, and the ways that it has drawn people to the Superstitions, many to their deaths. It’s a slice of Arizona that I don’t see a lot of in 2012, where my life is mostly snowbirds and grad students.
