been a few years since the last time and I had forgotten about the reference to
the 10-year-old girl mysteriously buried at Billy Yuma's village.
Sorry if this has been addressed before here, but has anyone ever found out why
CC included this seemingly unrelated detail?

I remember a discussion about this a few years back in here... I don't
recall the outcome. Perhaps someone else remembers the story?
Have you tried groups.google.com to check for an archive of the previous

Hi,
I had the original posting from March 01, and is posted below for you.
From a previous post to this group (should be accessible from
groups.google.com, if you want to go back and find the whole thread):

Found the answer to my own question. This from Yahoo chat with Clive 12/
1999.
heard_no_more asks: Mr. Cussler...What is the gravesite at the end of
Inca Gold?
author_clive_cussler: Oh, that's interesting. I took an archealogical
tour through the Sonoran desert in Mexico.
author_clive_cussler: And in one small village at a cathedral with a
graveyard, I found this tombstone in English
author_clive_cussler: to this young girl.
author_clive_cussler: And I thought, how did she come to be here?
author_clive_cussler: There was a marvellous inscription on her
tombstone.
author_clive_cussler: So I really put it in the book as an interesting
side bar - in hopes that somebody might write me and
tell me who she was, but noone did.
author_clive_cussler: And people always ask me, why was she in there,
because it didn't have anything to do with the plot.
author_clive_cussler: One fellow wrote and said his minister used to
close his sermon with that inscription and another one
found it on a gravestone in England.
author_clive_cussler: The closest I could come, was that Mormons went
down into Mexico to form a colony and the best
possibility was that she was the daughter of a Mormon missionary
author_clive_cussler: because she was only ten years old.
