An exhaustive study and research into how superstition and myth (i.e. religion) leads masses to horrendous acts against mankind.
Originally published in 1844, this is the story of the expedition through Texas and the explorers being captured by Mexico, by one who experienced it all.
Follow Landor into the Forbidden Land of Tibet, where the environment and weather is hostile to outsiders, along with it's rulers. Yet the lure and appeal of this Sacred Land continues to entice outsiders to venture there.
A superb reprint of the Lost & Concealed history of the reconstruction era in the United States. First published in 1929, the book shows how and when the people in the U.S. lost its freedoms, its constitution, its innocence at the hands of a totalitarian Congress. The federal courts in the South were established as MILITARY districts, and remain so to this day.
This book is intended not to raise fears but to record facts. We wish to describe with pen and pencil those features of England which are gradually disappearing, and to preserve the memory of them. It may be said that we have begun our quest too late; that so much has already vanished that it is hardly worth while to record what is left.
A collection of researches into the Hopi Tribe of the American Southwest, who are regarded as descendents of the Anasazi.
400 pages of letters, articles, and speeches given on the subject of the Annexation of Texas. Unusual collection of old rare writings.
It would have been a bold step indeed for anyone, some thirty years ago, to have thought of treating the public to a collection of stories ordinarily reputed fabulous, and of claiming for them the consideration due to genuine realities, or to have advocated tales, time-honoured as fictions, as actual facts; and those of the nursery as being, in many instances, legends, more or less distorted, descriptive of real beings or events.
The romance of the era of pirates continues to draw our curiousity. Yet, this history, like the wild, wild, west of Texas lasted but a short time. Read from the early stories about pirates that captured our imagination. This is one of the few factual histories recorded about piracy. Written circa 1811.
An exhaustive study into the normalcy of sex in ancient India's lifestyle and religions. The openness of sexual activity makes one wish you could live in such a society in modern times.
A facsimile of the 1895 edition of this book.
Since the early 1920s, numerous pamphlets and articles, even a few books, have sought to forge a link between "international bankers" and "Bolshevik revolutionaries." Rarely have these attempts been supported by hard evidence, and never have such attempts been argued within the framework of a scientific methodology.
A look back at prominent women of history, their power, their elegance, their beauty, and role in history.
600 pages of history of one the mysteries of history... Alexander the Great, who conquered much of the known world in a short period of time, and died mysteriously at a young age.
This book is not meant as a literary work, for I am not and do not pretend to be a literary man. It is but a record-an amplified log-book, as it were-of what befell me during my solitary peregrinations in Hokkaido, and a collection of notes and observations which I hope will prove interesting to anthropologists and ethnologists as well as to the general public.
