    Classified for 50 years by the CIA - now the hidden truth is revealed. 
    In 1966, The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas shocked the scientific world with a chilling theory: sudden, violent pole shifts have erased civilizations in a single day. Within months, the CIA seized the manuscript, releasing only a heavily redacted 57-page fragment decades later. The rest-over 200 pages-vanished from public view. 
    Adam and Eve and the Great Reset uncovers the full story. From Hapgood's Earth crust displacement theory to modern evidence of global floods, ancient civilizations, and lost knowledge, this investigation connects the dots between archaeology, astronomy, and suppressed history. 
    Drawing on the work of Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, The Comet Research Group, and The Ethical Skeptic, the book reveals that our ancestors left warnings carved into stone, encoded in myth, and aligned with the stars. Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids of Giza, and more than 175 flood legends all point to the same terrifying truth - Earth's cataclysm cycle is real, and we may be closer to the next reset than we think. 
    Secrets can be hidden. Warnings can be ignored. But the cycle cannot be stopped.

    When Samuel Townsend died at his home in Madison County, Alabama, in November 1856, the fifty-two-year-old white planter left behind hundreds of slaves, thousands of acres of rich cotton land, and a net worth of approximately $200,000. In life, Samuel had done little to distinguish himself from other members of the South's elite slaveholding class. But he made a name for himself in death by leaving almost the entirety of his fortune to his five sons, four daughters, and two nieces: all of them his slaves. 
     
     
     
    In this deeply researched, movingly narrated portrait of the extended Townsend family, R. Isabela Morales reconstructs the migration of this mixed-race family across the American West and South over the second half of the nineteenth century. Searching for communities where they could exercise their newfound freedom and wealth to the fullest, members of the family homesteaded and attended college in Ohio and Kansas; fought for the Union Army in Mississippi; mined for silver in the Colorado Rockies; and, in the case of one son, returned to Alabama to purchase part of the old plantation where he had once been held as a slave. In Morales's telling, the Townsends' story maps a new landscape of opportunity and oppression, where the meanings of race and freedom—as well as opportunities for social and economic mobility—were dictated by highly local circumstances.

    Washington - A Legacy of Leadership

    His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose. 
    Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  "I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him." 
    Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."
