Pages : 323
Book Description
It is April 1945 and the world's most prized horses are about to be slaughtered . . . As the Red Army closes in on the Third Reich, a German colonel sends an American intelligence officer an unusual report about a POW camp soon to be overrun by the Soviets. Locked up, the report says, are over a thousand horses, including the entire herd of white Lipizzaner's from Vienna's Spanish Riding School, as well as Europe's finest Arabian stallions -- stolen to create an equine "master race." The horses are worth millions and, if the starving Red Army reaches the stables first, they will kill the horses for rations. The Americans, under the command of General George Patton, whose love of horses was legendary, decide to help the Germans save the majestic creatures. So begins "Operation Cowboy," as GIs join forces with surrendered German soldiers and liberated prisoners of war to save the world's finest horses from fanatical SS soldiers and the ruthless Red Army in an extraordinary battle during the last few days of the war in Europe. This is an epic untold story from the waning days of World War II. Drawing from newly unearthed archival material, family archives held by descendants of the participants, and interviews with many of the participants published throughout the years, Ghost Riders is the definitive account of this truly unprecedented and moving story of kindness and compassion at the close of humanity's darkest hour.

Testimonials from those that have had the benefit of working with Cowboy Bart Jeppesen “In 2006 I enjoyed an exciting weekend with Bart. He showed me rocks made into symbols and symbols chipped into rocks. Siglas the Spaniards called them. They convey a universal language and speak of mysterious mines and hidden treasures. For those in the know, like Bart, they talk of the riches of the north slopes of the Uintah Mountains. While on his road of discovery Bart has uncovered and interpreted a vast number of symbols. I look forward, with anticipation, to his insights and understanding of these symbols. “ From a fellow author: Dale Bascom “Following the Legends” Website: Slimsgold.com Amazon.com http://amzn.to/RmXkJr “I first met Bart on a Treasure Hunters Forum. I observed his excellent comments on other questions and decided to contact him with some of my questions. I was a neophyte treasure hunter in search of several treasures in the Caballo mountains of New Mexico. I had found quite a few treasure symbols, but I had no idea what they meant. I sent photos of these monuments and photos of the surrounding area to Bart. He sent them back to me all marked up. He could see things the Spanish had done in the landscape around the monuments.. It was then that I realized that Bart had a very unique talent. He had researched thousands of symbols.. This became helpful in deciphering maps of area. The problem was that most of the symbols had been lost to time. The trails were all broken. But Cowboy Bart could still follow them.” ~Mark Palmer - South Western USA “Cowboy Bart and I first connected back in 2009 when he contacted Sacred Science Institute regarding a diagram on our website from our recent translation of St. Yves de D’Alveydre’s Archeometer (diagram can be found at this link: www.Sacredscience.com/archive/ArcheometerDiagrams.htm ). He mentioned that he used esoteric symbols as schematics to hunt for hidden treasure concealed within a framework of symbolic codes. I had never heard of anyone doing this before and thought it a fascinating subject and application of esoteric knowledge. I was unaware that many old hid- den treasures, buried by Templar's or hidden by past societies, were marked with such codes which could be traced by those initiated into the secret tradition. I encouraged Cowboy Bart to write a book about this fascinating subject, and still look forward to him doing so...” ~W. Bradstreet Stewart, Director Sacred Science Institute www.sacredscience.com

Book Description
Introduction I guess I got my start the day I found an unusual set of crosses carved into a cliff face many years ago. Then from that point on, I was on the hunt for more. I spent endless amounts of hours reading and researching. During these years I also photographed everything I found. I traveled to many states gathering and comparing these finds. Which in turn created quite a collection created from findings in the field. From this massive amount of information gathered from many places far and wide, I have been able to connect the common factors found within these sites. This is what makes my books very unique. I know that I can speed up the success rate of each person in the field. Originally, I had written only one book on symbols and signs. It was more of my journal and notes. But as I began to put it altogether it occurred to me just how much information and thousands of photographs were involved, along with the massive amount of work it would consist of. So it was agreed that this book should be divided. In doing it this way, I am able to teach the reader in a progressive manner from book to book. We all know someone somewhere who found something or was close to finding something. We also know that the majority of what these people had learned went to graves with them. My intentions are to share and spread this knowledge that I have gathered to help others become successful. Keeping in mind these are progressive books. So in the event that you are scratching your head-that is a good thing! Because as you progress along, you will suddenly turn on the light and truly understand the secrets needed to make it all so simple. Cowboy Bart

Ghosts in Popular Culture and Legend
Author: June Michele Pulliam
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440834911
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
With entries that range from specific works to authors, folklore, and popular culture (including music, film, television, urban legend, and gaming), this book provides a single-volume resource on all things ghostly in the United States and in other countries. The concept of ghosts has been an ongoing and universal element in human culture as far back as recorded history can document. In more modern popular culture and entertainment, ghosts are a popular mainstay—from A Christmas Carol and Casper the Friendly Ghost to The Amityville Horror, Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Sixth Sense, and Ghost Whisperer. This book comprehensively examines ghost and spirit phenomena in all its incarnations to provide readers with a holistic perspective on the subject. It presents insightful information about the contribution of a specific work or author to establish or further the evolution of ghost lore, rather than concentrating solely on the film, literature, music, or folklore itself. The book focuses on ghosts in western culture but also provides information about spirit phenomena and lore in international settings, as many of the trends in popular culture dealing with ghosts and spirits are informed by authors and filmmakers from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. The writers and editors are experts and scholars in the field and enthusiastic fans of ghost lore, ghost films, ghost hunting, and urban legends, resulting in entries that are informative and engaging—and make this the most complete and current resource on ghost and spirit lore available.

Cowboys, Cops, Killers, and Ghosts
Author: Kenneth L. Untiedt
Publisher: University of North Texas Press
ISBN: 1574415328
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
This Publication of the Texas Folklore Society has something for everyone. The first section features a good bit of occupational lore, including articles on cowboys—both legendary ones and the relatively unknown men who worked their trade day by day wherever they could. You’ll also find a unique, personal look at a famous outlaw and learn about a teacher’s passion for encouraging her students to discover their own family culture, as well as unusual weddings, somewhat questionable ways to fish, and one woman’s love affair with a bull. The backbone of the PTFS series has always been miscellanies—diverse examinations of the many types of lore found throughout Texas and the Southwest. These books offer a glimpse of what goes on at our annual meetings, as the best of the papers presented are frequently selected for our publications. Of course, the presentations are only a part of what the Society does at the meetings, but reading these publications offers insight into our members’ interests in everything from bikers and pioneers of Tejana music to serial killers and simple folk from small-town Texas. These works also suggest the importance of the “telling of the tale,” with an emphasis on oral tradition, as well as some of the customs we share. All of these things together— the focus on tradition at our meetings, the fellowship among members, and the diversity of our research—are what sustain the Texas Folklore Society.
