Superstitions history book

Post by Daryl »

I'm looking for a good book on the history of the Superstitons. I've seen some mentioned here before but couldn't find the posts again. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hey Daryl,
First off, let me say "sorry" for jabbing at you in the other forum about predicting the weather. I was being a jerk :oops: , and that is not how I want to portray myself on this fabulous website. (too late huh?)
Second of all, I would like to reccomend Helen Corbin's The Bible on Jacob Waltz and the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. I may be slightly off on the title, but that's pretty close. This book will tell you more than you probably want to know. It is fabulous! :) You can pick it up at the Superstition Museum and Tortilla Flat for sure.

Thanks Matt (No offense taken), and everyone else for the suggestions. Seems there are a ton of books out there on the Superstitions history.

The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz by T E Glover is very good.
