Beschreibung

This work presents a compelling account of the Civil War. It follows the narrative of a man who witnessed it from the beginning, always in the center of the action. When the war broke out in April 1861, G. Moxley Sorrel worked as a bank clerk in Savannah. He left this job to watch Fort Sumter fall, then offered his services to the new Confederacy. He found himself working as a staff officer for James Longstreet, then a brigade commander, in no time. It was the start of a long and beneficial partnership that lasted till the war's end. Published posthumously, this work comprises vivid descriptions of his thrilling experiences. His reminisces are easy to read, pleasant, and moving. Many critics called it one of the best portrayals of the personalities of prominent participants in the Confederacy, marked by a touch of humor and swift characterization.

    Did man rise up from the protoplasmic crud and evolve over millions of years or are his origins from within the world of the X-Files? Was planet Earth visited and populated by an ancient God-like race of super aliens who spawned a new species of servants? Are humans simply the result of biological engineering that we are now just discovering is possible? 
     
    The fact is, these ancient alien astronauts can be shown to have not only spawned mankind as a genetic species, but also to have originated our very religions and belief systems. They are the gods of ancient times. They are the holy warrior heroes in their silver chariots flying across the sky. They wielded mighty weapons of mass destruction. And now, thousands of years later we are rediscovering this truth. 
     
    We have very strong historical evidence that they came. We have thousands of stories in myths and religious texts speaking of aliens visiting Earth, creating mankind, ruling over them for millennia and even mating with them. We even know that a series of great battles ensued between the originators and their offspring. All of this gave rise to our world religions and it is in the sacred texts and historical writings that we shall discover the truth about the aliens that made us. 
     
    These alien astronauts are the very roots of humanity itself.
