Sinossi

Thanksgiving History explores the evolution of Thanksgiving from a harvest celebration to a complex national holiday. The book delves into the historical roots, examining the interactions between Pilgrims and the Wampanoag, highlighting how cultural exchange, political agendas, and evolving social values shaped the holiday. Interestingly, Sarah Josepha Hale played a crucial role in promoting Thanksgiving as a unifying national symbol, leading to Abraham Lincoln's official proclamation during the Civil War.

 
The book traces Thanksgiving's journey, starting with pre-colonial America and Native American agricultural practices. It then examines the Pilgrims' arrival and the 1621 harvest celebration. Finally, it analyzes modern traditions, including Thanksgiving dinner and family gatherings, while also addressing contemporary critiques and calls for a more inclusive representation of Native American history.

 
This book offers a fresh perspective by moving beyond simplified narratives. It provides a critical analysis of the holiday's historical development and its ongoing impact on American society, making it valuable for anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of this national holiday and its many Thanksgiving traditions.

  • The Timeline of Intelligent Life on Earth - From Millions of Years Ago To the Present - cover

    The Timeline of Intelligent Life...

    I’m fascinated with Ancient History because there are continuous new discoveries which push back the dawn of civilization by thousands of years. In the last couple of decades, the discoveries at Gobekli Tepe in eastern Turkey pushed back man-made structures to the time period of 9,000-11,000 B.C. Thousands of years before the next know civilizations existed. 
    This book includes my research on ancient sites around the world, underground structures, giants, the destruction of civilization about 10,500 B.C., the real Atlantis, and out of place objects which can be millions of years old. 
    Yes-I’m saying intelligent life has existed on Earth that long, and since humanity and even primates don’t exist in those times at all, aliens must have lived on the Earth at that time. 
    There are three parts to this book: 
    Part One - Millions of Years Ago 
    This includes stories of aliens existing on Earth in our history, and many out of place objects made by intelligent beings, and the fossil record which provides supporting evidence that intelligent life did exist at those times. 
    Part Two - The Unknown Civilizations of Man 
    Here we have evidence of structures built by man but way before any accepted records that civilization or man made constructions existed. Some of these things may go back 100,000 years ago. 
    Part Three – Post Ice Age Civilizations 
    This part includes evidence that the Younger Dryas event was actually comets striking the Earth which caused major disasters and probably the destruction of civilizations about 10,500 B.C. 
    My intention is that this timeline will provide a skeleton of mankind and intelligent life’s early history on Earth which can be filled in overtime to become much more detailed and prove the truth of this point of view to skeptics worldwide.
