Book Description
Excitement abounds on Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan. A recent archeological dig has uncovered a mysterious circle of stones like a mini-Stonehenge dating back hundreds of years and undoubtedly the lost sacred grounds of the Odawa Indians. The discovery is made upon the eighty acres of land that the Graham family has owned for generations. Kitt Graham and her siblings embark on a day’s excursion to the island to share in the community’s excitement over the find and to visit their property with the curious arrangement of stones. The excitement of the trip is a boon to Kitt, whose life is at a standstill. Scarred by lost love and job-weary, she struggles to find meaning but has become cynical, fearful that love will never find her again. Kitt’s one-day excursion turns into several days when a hiking mishap brings her into the arms of the handsome part-Irish, part-Odawa detective Ben Donovan. Together, they face new love but also become embroiled with a demented killer whose messianic destiny is pre-ordained with the recent election of the first Mormon President.

Michigan Myths and Legends
Author: Sally Barber
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 149304009X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
From tales of pirate treasure to Jimmy Hoffa’s mysterious disappearance, Michigan Myths and Legends makes history fun and pulls back the curtain on some of the state’s most fascinating and compelling stories. Most people have heard about the Bermuda Triangle, where ships and people disappear without a trace—but few have heard about the equally deadly Great Lakes Triangle, where one-third of all unsolved sea and air disasters in America take place. Night after night, curious onlookers congregate on a remote hill near the Michigan/Wisconsin border to watch for mysterious lights that rise out of the ground, hover, and then disappear. Are the orbs merely optical phenomena created by headlights of passing cars? Or are they spirits returning to haunt where their earthly bodies met their demise? In the mid-1960s, the number of reports to the US Air Force of UFO sightings spiked across the country. Were people seeing unfamiliar technological innovations in aircraft? Had the rising popularity of the new-fangled television’s sci-fi programs sparked Americans’ imaginations? Or were extraterrestrial beings actually responding to signals from newly constructed deep-space radio transmitters?

The Lost History of Ancient America
Author: Frank Joseph
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1632659336
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The Lost History of Ancient America presents new evidence of transoceanic visitors to America, hundreds, even thousands, of years before Christopher Columbus was born. Its 20 eminent contributors are experts in a variety of fields, from botany, biology, and prehistoric engineering to underwater archaeology, archaeo-astronomy, and Bronze Age warfare. In ancient times, the sea was not an impassable barrier separating our ancestors from the outside world, but a highway taking them to every corner of it. Never before and nowhere else has so much evidence proving the impact made on America by overseas visitors been assembled. You will learn about: A chain of stonewalls across southern Illinois that has stood for the last two millennia. A profusion of plants flourishing throughout the United States and Canada that originated more than 20 centuries ago. Underwater ruins recently found off the coast of Oregon. Bronze Age oil wells in Pennsylvania. And much, much more. The Lost History of Ancient America ends the debate between cultural diffusionists--who have always known that our ancient ancestors did not consider the sea an impassable barrier--and cultural isolationists, who have been equally certain that humans lacked the know-how and courage for global navigation until a little more than 500 years ago.
