Extractions: Fortune-Seeker William Niven Grew Rich In Tales Of Adventure. By Randall Holdridge Buried Cities, Forgotten Gods: William Niven's Life of Discovery and Revolution in Mexico and the American Southwest, by Robert S. Wicks and Roland H. Harrison (Texas Tech University Press). Cloth, $39.95. WILLIAM NIVEN'S LONG life as a prospector, mineralogist, businessman, adventurer, explorer, amateur archaeologist and raconteur was both curious and admirable, and it is admirably told by his grandson, Roland H. Harrison, and art historian Robert S. Wicks. The volume includes many of Niven's fascinating photographs of early 20th-century Mexico. At age 28, William Niven emigrated to the U.S. to seek his fortune, a goal which, despite his hard work and imaginative speculations, eluded him. A reader might conclude that the "canny Scotsman" was not as canny as the less scrupulous politicians, businessmen and academics whose trails crossed his. Yet, Niven intrepidly survived desert thirst, earthquake, bandit skirmishes, skull-packed caves, arrest in revolutionary Mexico, raging rivers and jungle fever. The God-fearing Scotsman managed to keep safe in a world of violence and intrigue by nothing more (nor less) than an ironclad sense of honor and sober industry. Following his arrival in Providence in 1879, Niven's earliest American failures came as a traveling salesman. In a succession of jobs, he worked his way west to Denver, where he fell victim to mining fever. For two years he toughed it out as a prospector in New Mexico until he landed an indoor job at an 1893 mining exhibition in Santa Fe setting up a display of his collected regional oddities. Soon he was back in the field, and he invested part of the profit from the sale of a good claim he had found east of Tucson to buy one-half interest in the Benson House hotel. With the balance he purchased a nine-ton carload of ore samples from mines in Tombstone and Bisbee along with specimens of cacti, pickled gila monsters and petrified wood which he took for display in the 1884-85 World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial in New Orleans.

Extractions: Robert S. Wicks and Roland H. Harrison "I will go no further," William Niven’s Indian guide declared. "Beyond on every ridge, as far as you can see is all a part of one great City of the Dead . . . the gods will permit no man to go further and from here I return." His later discovery of twenty-six hundred inscribed stone tablets in the Valley of Mexico aroused considerable controversy, and inspired James Churchward to put forth an occult interpretation of the origins of the Native Americans in The Lost Continent of Mu (1926). They remain controversial to this day. The writer Katherine Anne Porter frequented Niven’s excavations in the Valley of Mexico and based her first published short story, "María Concepción," on her experiences there. She would write that the "Old Man never carried a gun, never locked up his money, sat on political dynamite and human volcanoes and never bothered to answer his slanderers. He bore a charmed life. Nothing would ever happen to him." Niven was planning a book about his experiences, but was unable to complete it because of ill health. Buried Cities, Forgotten Gods is based upon his surviving manuscripts and personal papers.
