Marlowe, Travis.
Superstition Treasures. 1965. An interesting book by the business man (real name Clarence O. Mitchell) who obtained the stone maps from Travis and Eileen Tumlinson after Travis Tumlinson's death. (See the interesting article on Travis Marlowe and the stone maps in the June 12, 1964 issue of Life magazine: Richard B. Stolley. Mysterious Maps to Lost Gold Mines. Pages 90-94, 96). Marlowe's work contains useful photographs of the stone maps, but it must be pointed out that their authenticity is highly debatable. Who made them? Why? What do they mean? Of course, none of these doubts about their authenticity bother the more eccentric Dutchman hunters and authors who have made these maps the cornerstone of their speculations. Even Barry Storm got into the act in the last edition of Thunder Gods Gold in 1967. CM: "Primarily devoted to three stone tablets found in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains of Arizona in the 1950's. These tablets, the author believes, show the locations of gold mines in the Superstitions."
