    Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.

    Could the Trump family's connections to time travel, esoteric knowledge, and secret societies hold clues to unlocking the mysteries of our past and future?

By the end of this book, you will be able to connect the uncanny parallels between the novels Lockwood penned over a century ago and the Trump family legacy. Additionally, you will be able to solve the mystery to the upcoming 2024 election season.

In the annals of American presidential history, there is no more peculiar tale than the eerie similarities between former President Donald Trump and a series of novels called, The Baron Trump Collection, penned by the obscure yet seemingly prophetic hand of American lawyer and novelist Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s.

The Trump Code delves into the connections between the Baron Trump novels and the enigmatic Trump family legacy, asking whether this nineteenth-century novelist foresaw the future of not only Trump but America and the world. It also uncovers a web of historical events and divine providence.

Drawing from biblical passages about Enoch, Elijah, the Apostle John, the Mount of Transfiguration, and a mysterious verse in Ephesians on how Christ's followers are seated in "heavenly places," along with theories of time travel by Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and others, The Trump Code connects the pieces of this riveting puzzle, posing the question of whether "truth is stranger than fiction," as Mark Twain famously said.

As we peel back the layers of history, The Trump Code confronts questions that defy easy answers:
Could this fictional novel hold clues to the upcoming 2024 presidential election, with all its division and chaos?

Is there a divine hand guiding the course of human events, as suggested by the parallels in these novels between fiction and reality?

Or are we witnessing the machinations of darker forces, hinted at by the curious numerology surrounding Lockwood's name?
