Jack San Felice: Lost El Dorado of Jacob Waltz

Jack’s lecture is based on more than 25 years of research and diligently searching Arizona’s Superstition Mountains for the world famous Lost Dutchman Mine. His research runs contrary to the tale of the mine being in the western Superstitions near Weaver’s Needle. He relies on factual and scientific evidence to aid in the search for precious metals and the illusive mine. Jack has been an avid hiker, horseback rider, four-wheeler, and serious researcher of the Superstition Mountains and nearby areas for over 28 years.  He is the author of the When Silver was King, Superstition Cowboys, Lost El Dorado of Jacob Waltz,  Lore of the Superstitions, and numerous short stories. He also has lectured in central Arizona for more than  25 years on local history, including tales of the Superstition Mountains.  Jack is a longtime member of the museum and lives with his wife Winnie in Mesa, Arizona.
