Arizona’s Superstition Mountains are like no other mountain range in the continental United States. The ancestral ground of the western Apache and sacred heights of the neighboring Pima, these mountains were once a veritable no-man’s land of soaring cliffs, dead-end box canyons, and eerie hoodoos of stone, marking them as one of the last places on earth that any person would dare to tread. While this range appears on the surface to be a veritable nature lover’s paradise with towering saguaro cactus forests, desert wildflowers, and roadrunners, it is also home to rattlesnakes, plants and animals that stick, sting, or bite, and modern gun-toting, dry-gulchers. In fact, in the last century, the Superstition Mountains have claimed the lives of more than 500 visitors, marking it as the West’s deadliest wild area. Part hiking guide, part history book, Superstitions: Hiking the Ghost Trails of Mystery Mountain vividly brings the supernatural beauty, mystery, and majesty of this unique area to life.Within the pages of Superstitions, readers will first be swept up in the legends of the Superstition Mountains, encountering colorful historical characters such as 1840s gold prospectors, brave-hearted Apaches, and sly outlaws. Readers will encounter the native flora and fauna of the range, from poisonous rattlesnakes to rare flowers. And finally, an in-depth guide to every trail in the range, will satisfy even the most experienced of hikers.Including a foldout map and dozens of original photos, Superstitions belongs on the shelf, or in the backpack, of every history buff and every veteran hiker.

Superstition Mountains, a place of mystery, legends, lost gold mine, and death. Discover the Legend of Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, one of America most enduring mystery Discover one of the most intriguing legends in America in one hour or less! There is a mountain range in the wilderness of Arizona that was the setting of native lore about the creation of the world, flood myths, and the origin of evil. All these stories center on the Superstition Mountains, which seem to have a strange hold over the psyches of those who live beneath their towering height. Later, as the California Gold Rush spilled over into Arizona, the Superstitions attracted the attention of miners. Several mines existed in the general area, but the focal point of the legends was owned by the Peralta family. After they sold the land to a German immigrant named Jacob Waltz, he died suddenly-leaving behind cryptic clues about the greatest gold deposit in North America. Treasure hunting mania followed. Are the legends true? That is the question everyone always asks about any legend. That is the very nature of a passed-down story. We know, in this one, that there are at least grains of truth. We know of the Peralta family; they served as governors of the New Mexico region. We know that Jacob Waltz was a real person. We know that many of the deaths associated with the mine really happened. We know, from newspaper clippings and other verifiable sources, that some sort of legends about the mine existed from the earliest days after Waltz's death. This is a story where fact and fiction merge and mesh until sometimes it is nearly impossible to tell the difference. But that's what makes for some of the greatest stories! This book is not meant as a field guide or an encouragement to go treasure hunting yourself. It's a place to find some information about one of the greatest legends of the American southwest. It's a book that simply scratches the surface of all there is to learn about this legend and this place. Perhaps it will encourage you to do more research on your own. It will take you an hour or less to read this book! After your reading, you will: Know about the Superstition Mountains and its mysterious history Get a concise history of America's gold rush Know the details of the legend of the lost Dutchman's gold mine Meet the treasure hunters that roam the Superstition Mountains in search of the lost mine. Discover the possible locations of the lost mine Scroll back up and order your copy now!

Faut-il être impitoyable pour exercer le métier de " chasseur de prime " ! A cet exercice, l'homme solitaire, visage ravagé par une cicatrice en forme de W, que tout le monde connaît sous le sobriquet de Wanted, est sans nul doute le plus redoutable. Pourtant, son cœur de pierre ne s'émeut-il pas en sauvant la vie, en soignant puis en aidant le jeune métis Yaqui Jed, que d'odieux chasseurs de scalps, " Les Frères Bull ", ont laissé pour mort après avoir décimé et scalpé tous les siens ?

Even though Henry Barker and his two brothers learned firsthand that the urban legend about danger on nearby Superstition Mountain wasn't just a myth, this doesn't stop them from planning their return. Along with their friend Delilah, the Barker brothers soon find themselves entangled in more danger and mystery as they uncover a real treasure, but the discovery comes at a very big price—they barely survive an avalanche. The question remains—is someone after them, or is the mountain seeking revenge? Treasure on Superstition Mountain is the second book in Elise Broach's Superstition Mountain series.

In pioneer lore, the Lost Dutchman's Mine remains an intriguing mystery of the Old West. What became Apache Junction in the Salt River Valley was already an established home for prehistoric Native Americans and the Apache tribe, when it was further settled and cultivated by Spanish and Mexican expeditions, American wagon trains, mountain men, and the U.S. military in the late 19th century. But Apache Junction became legendary when German immigrant Jacob Waltz discovered a secret gold mine. Thousands of prospectors traversed the "crooked top" Superstition Mountains in search of this treasure, enriching the area's history and leading to the development of a unique community that has endured and grown alongside the famous legend.
