and Chapter

The final voyage of Rudolf Lorenz and Captain Nuggerud was pieced together from accounts of the tragedy by Waldo L. Schmitt in “Hancock-Galápagos Expedition, 1934-1935 Diary,” John Treherne's own attempt to explain the disappearances on

Floreana in The Galápagos Affair, Margret and Heinz Wittmer's “What Happened on the

Galápagos?”, Margret Wittmer's Floreana, and finally the Postscript of Dore Strauch's

Satan Came to Eden written first hand by the man who discovered Lorenz on Marchena Island, Captain G Allan Hancock.

Chapter 3 and 4

The chapters taking place in Charlottenburg, Berlin were informed entirely by Friedrich Ritter's somewhat boastful and self-delusional article for Atlantic Monthly

entitled “Adam and Eve in the Galápagos” as well as Dore Strauch's memoir, Satan Came to Eden.

Chapter 5 and 6

These chapters deal mostly with the arrival of the Ritters to Floreana, which was informed by a combination of both Friedrich Ritter's “Adam and Eve in the Galápagos” for the dates, personal history, and practicalities, and Dore Strauch's, Satan Came to Eden

Melville's mood and place in The Encantatas also contributed to description of Floreana. Ritter's meticulous accounting of establishing the homestead, Friedo in his article

comprised most of Chapter 5. J. F. Schimpff's American Weekly article “By a Modern “Robinson Crusoe: Experiences in Back to nature Existence on Floreana Island” also informed details to the homestead and its discovery.

Chapter 7

Strauch's memoir, Satan Came to Eden made numerous mentions of the native boy Hugo, whose story was contained in Chapter 6. Ritter's accounts mentioned no such person on the island, most likely to attempt to hide the fact that he was no true lone Crusoe, surviving against all odds on an uninhabited island.

Chapter 8

The details of Dr. Ritter and Dore's battle against the “Devil Boar” was most widely, and I would even go so far as to say obsessively, detailed in Ritter's “Satan Walks in the Garden,” an article following his earlier one also appearing in Atlantic Monthly. Dore Strauch also lent a less troubling, though more supernatural perspective on the event in Satan Came to Eden.

Chapter 9

The account of the hateful letter that has Ritter in such a foul mood is from his final article for Atlantic Monthly, entitled “Eve Calls it a Day”. The rest of the chapter combines Heniz Wittmer's account of meeting the Ritters from “What Happened on the

Galápagos,” and Margret Wittmer's retelling of her meeting with the Ritters later on in

Floreana. Dore Strauch also adds her perspective including the observations of the great wildfire in Satan Came to Eden. Some details concerning dialogue were also pulled from Vernon Lange's The Wittmers of Floreana, an unpublished manuscript.

Chapter 10 and 11

These three chapters were comprised of as wide of swath of reports as could be collected regarding the events. So much of what is reported here seems to conflict in various ways, and I don't doubt there to be certain exaggerations here and there. Most of the conversations in Friedo are informed by Dore Strauch's Satan Came to Eden, while much of the accounts of goings on outside of the Ritter homestead (Such as the actions taken by the Baroness) are communicated by Margret Wittmer in Floreana and Heinz Wittmer's portion in “What Happened on Galápagos”. Additional details concerning a good deal of the Baroness's depiction is informed by the above memoirs, but is

supplemented with character detail and biographical information from John Treherne's

The Galápagos Affair, Peter Sinep's self published The Queen of Floreana,

Chapter 12

The events surrounding the Baroness's mysterious disappearance are informed by, in addition to the accounts of Treherne, Strauch and the Wittmers, the Milwaukee

Sentinel's “Galápagos Death Puzzle Linked to Island 'Empress',” the Miami Daily News's “Love, Jealousy Add to Mystery of Death on 'Enchanted Isles',” Hal Dunwoodie's “The

Ritter's “Letter to Captain G. Allan Hancock,” and finally “Debunking the Baroness” by Walter Finsen.

Chapter 13

This is comprised completely of the dueling accounts of Ritter's death by the Wittmers in Floreana and “What Happened on Galápagos,” and Dore Strauch in Satan Came to Eden. Dore details the moments leading up to the Wittmer's arrival in Friedo, and then Heinz Wittmer's account take precedent mostly from there.
