 Will Keen is a western man living his life in two different worlds—one white, one Piaute Indian. He dresses in white man's clothes and adopts many of his habits and mannerisms. Only high cheekbones and dark eyes that miss nothing give a hint of the Indian blood coursing through his veins. Will knows the western wilderness like no other because he was raised in it, and guides wagon trains westwards into Oregon Territory, braving savage lands and equally savage men—of all races—who prey on innocent wagon families.

In perhaps the most scenic part of this beautiful region, the high country of contemporary Northern Arizona has often been built and preserved by its Mexican-Americans, whose native language Spanish lives on in its street signs, place names, and person and business appellations.

 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.

 The lost dutchman's mine story.  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.  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.
