The Ones That Got Away
Author: L. C. Baker
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781499593693
Category : Nebraska City (Neb.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Knights of the Golden Circle along with the Order of American Knights are finally exposed, unexpectedly in the state of Nebraska. A huge cache was hidden by the secret organizations to fund the next rebellion and part of it was brought to the frontier. This is the first book in the series that will describe Knights of the Golden Circle operations in Nebraska and the members of the organizations involved, including the outlaw Jesse Woodson James. The Lincoln assassination is re-examined with recently discovered evidence pointing to the conspirators that were most likely responsible for the assassination. The book will also shed new light on evidence in Finis Bates's claim that John Wilkes Booth escaped to freedom and lived out his life as John St. Helen whom Bates met in Granbury Texas. The secret organizations of the K.G.C. and the O.A.K. are also linked to the Freemasons with the symbolism and membership of all three organizations overlapping among several members. The K.G.C. ranks reached all the way to the President of the United States. New evidence now links the secret organizations directly to the white house during more than one presidency. The true lives of presidents, prominent politicians, Judges, lawyers, bankers, businessmen and their link to the outlaw Jesse Woodson James will now be told.
