Edward I: A Captivating Guide to...

Captivating History

Who was King Edward I of England? And why should we learn about him? 
King Edward I was the first of three Edwards who reigned in perfect succession. He was one of the most important kings in English history, but he was also one of the most controversial. This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students. Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.  
Edward engaged in harsh crackdowns, yet he also confirmed the statutes of the Magna Carta and helped strengthen ties to parliament. Edward often behaved as an absolutist dictator with a penchant for reform. He has been described as a “great and terrible” king, whose equal parts of greatness and terribleness can easily be seen throughout his tenure as an English monarch.  
In this book, you will learn about:Edward’s early days as prince and the impact of his childhoodThe Welsh revolts and Edward’s eventual conquest of WalesEdward’s Holy Land CrusadeScotland’s crisis of succession and Edward’s long war with the ScotsThe rise of William Wallace and Robert the BruceEdward’s final days as kingAnd much more!

Small Farm Republic - Why...

John Klar

From farmer, lawyer, and political activist John Klar comes a bold, solutions-based plan for Conservatives that gets beyond the fatuous pipe dreams and social-justice platitudes of the dominant, Liberal “Green” agenda—offering a healthy way forward for everyone.  
While many on the Left have taken up the mantle of creating a “green” future through climate alarmism, spurious new energy sources, and technocratic control, many on the Right continue to deny imminent environmental threats while pushing for unbridled deregulation of our most destructive industrial forces. Neither approach promises a bright future.  
In a time of soil degradation, runaway pollution, food insecurity, and declining human health, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and yet the dominant political voices too often overlook the last best hope for our planet—supporting small, regenerative farmers. In fact, politicians on all sides continue to sell out the interests of small farmers to the devastating power of Big Ag and failed “renewable energy” incentives.   
It’s time for a new vision. It’s time for bold new agriculture policies that restore both ecosystems and rural communities.  
In Small Farm Republic, John Klar, an agrarian conservative in the mold of Wendell Berry and Joel Salatin, offers an alternative that puts small farmers, regenerative agriculture, and personal liberty at the center of an environmental revival—a message that everyone on the political spectrum needs to hear.

Anonymous

Mary Ellen Pleasant: From Slavery to Fortune – America's First Self-Made Female Multimillionaire by Andy Lammers tells the extraordinary true story of a woman who defied the limitations of her time to become one of the wealthiest and most influential figures in 19th-century America. 
Born into slavery on a Georgia plantation in the early 1800s, Mary Ellen Pleasant escaped a life of bondage and reinvented herself on her own terms. Her journey eventually led her west during the California Gold Rush, where she harnessed her intelligence, courage, and sharp instincts to build a vast fortune—estimated at nearly a billion dollars in today’s money. 
Pleasant became a formidable entrepreneur, owning numerous businesses across San Francisco, while quietly using her wealth to support abolitionist causes, aid escaped slaves, and uplift the poor. She was both admired and controversial, a woman of vision who operated in a world dominated by men, wealth, and prejudice. 
At the end of her remarkable life, Pleasant gave away her fortune to the poor of San Francisco, ensuring her legacy was not only one of wealth but of generosity, courage, and social impact. 
This is the story of a woman who transformed from enslaved child to America’s first self-made female multimillionaire—a hidden figure in history whose life reads like both a triumph and a legend.

The Brothers of the Shining Robe

Manly P. Hall

In this rare and mystical work, Manly P. Hall unveils the hidden thread of spiritual brotherhood that guides the evolution of humanity from behind the veil. The Brothers of the Shining Robe refers to the invisible order of Initiates, Sages, and Adepts who, throughout the ages, have silently labored for the advancement of truth, beauty, and enlightenment on Earth. 
Through poetic symbolism and philosophical insight, Hall traces the legacy of these hidden guardians—from ancient Egypt and Greece to the esoteric schools of the East and the secret societies of the modern West. He explores their doctrines, their sacred duty to the soul of the world, and their constant battle against ignorance and materialism. 
More than a history, this book is a spiritual call to remembrance: that there are still those who wear the shining robe—not of cloth, but of light—and who work for the regeneration of the human spirit. Their presence is known not by words, but by their silent wisdom and unwavering service.
