The secession movement had three distinct stages. The first, beginning with the news that Lincoln was elected, closed with the news, sent broadcast over the South from Charleston, that Federal troops had taken possession of Fort Sumter on the night of the 28th of December. During this period the likelihood of secession was the topic of discussion in the lower South.
Mary Catherwood puts the life of Joan of Arc into story form, but sticking to the historical facts given in the documents about this Goddess.
The main object of this book is to present a phalanx of facts upon the subject of the defenseless condition of this country, and to show what must be done, and done quickly, in order to avert the most dire calamity that can fall upon a people-that of merciless invasion by a foreign foe, with the horrors of which no pestilence can be compared. (Could this book be the birth of the Indusrial Military Complex?)
This story is the result of eight years spent in ethnological and arch
Written in 1830, Sir Walter Scott reveals mankind's history with demons and witches. This is an exhaustive study into demons and witches in the ancient religions.
The student of our early literature and language is indebted to the zeal of Sir Thomas Phillipps, for the discovery of the following interesting Fragment, which appears to have formed part of a volume that contained
Research into a land and people that is as old as the Noah story.
Our favorite mythological character, who just doesn't seem to go away through time. So a myth or not the Devil rules the Western world.
The Babylonian and Assyrian incantations and chants to ward off the demons and ghouls. Translated from the cuneiform tablets.
This standard for works of earlier date than 1526 is furnished by the following pages, which contain an alphabetical inventory of every word found in the printed English literature of the 13th century. As, however, a mere index verborum would but inadequately fulfil its object, a certain amount of explanatory and etymological matter has been added, which it is hoped may render the work more generally interesting and useful than could otherwise have been the case.
Sandoval, Hastin Tlo'tsi hee (Old Man Buffalo Grass), was the first of the four chiefs of the Navaho People. I had known him for years. In late November 1928, he came to the Mesa Verde National Park, where I was then living, for the purpose of having me record all that he knew about his people.
This is probably one of the most intricate and exhaustive histories written of Rome, particularly the B.C. years of Rome. The author, a Roman senator, wrote this history around 216 A.D. Interestingly, he like Josephus, mentions nothing of a Jesus or a threat of the Christians against Rome. However, there is an interesting expansion of history of the Jewish revolt against Rome, including Jewish cannibalism, from the Roman point of view.
Nothing like this has ever been assembled for the truthseeker before. All known theories that have been written about are brought forward that touch on the Discovery of the Americas. It's rather narrow minded to recognize that Columbus was beaten to the Americas by half a century by Leif Eriksonn, and not know that Afghans, Chinese, Phoenicians, Polynesians, Hebrews, Moslems, Buddhists, Greeks, Romans, Lemurians, and others also landed on American soil prior to 1492, and that Aristotle wrote details about the great Americas, or the Hawaiian island Maui was named after an Egyptian explorer who explored Chile around 290AD. Included in this set is a rare 800 page manusctript of the Buddhist Afghans' journey to the Americas, and a concise History of Vinland by progeny of those valient explorers and colonists.
Certaine Queries answered, which have been and are likely to be objected against MATTHEW HOPKINS, in his way of finding out Witches. The handbook for determining who among us are witches and who are not.
The ancient world believed that disease was brought by spirits, evil spirits. Now with modern science discovering the way disease is airborne, food-borne and spread, perhaps the ancients weren't all that far off.
