Summary

In 1828, a teenage boy appeared in the streets of Nuremberg, barely able to walk or speak. He carried a mysterious letter but had no memory of his past, no knowledge of the world, and no understanding of where he had come from. His name was Kaspar Hauser, and his sudden arrival became one of the most baffling mysteries in European history.
 
 
 
Was he a lost prince hidden away to protect a royal secret or an unfortunate orphan subjected to years of isolation? Was he the victim of a cruel experiment or a pawn in a political conspiracy? As scholars, scientists, and nobility tried to unravel his past, Kaspar's story only grew stranger, leading to an eerie and tragic ending that left more questions than answers.
 
 
 
This book explores the life, theories, and legacy of Kaspar Hauser, a boy without a past whose true identity remains an enigma.
Available since: 03/05/2025.

    Prehistoric World The - Vanished...

    Originally published in 1885. 
    The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
    We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
    Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.
