Book Description
"A late nineteenth-century miners' camp called Coal Banks could have been nothing mor ethan a came-and-went map dot--fanishing once all resources had been stripped. Instead, the history of a determined community that triumphed over obstacles and hardships unfolded to transform the city into what it is today. Through two crippling World Wars, the crime-riddled era of prohibition, the Great Depression, and many challenging moments in time, Lethbridge peaked and valleyed over the last century--creating a unique and underappreciated prairie story along the way. And while Lethbridge may not be as glamourous or as celebrated as other locations in this world, a lack of notoriety does not make its background any less interesting or valuable. From American outlaws searching for lawless land for the whiskey trade to farmers, miners, investors, educators, art enthusiasts, and business owners looking to bring new opportunities to the region; The History of Lethbridge details the people who shaped thecity and the background behind iconic streets and structures that have appeared as a result over the past 150 years."--Back cover.

ISBN: 1846948967
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This is the first formal biography of the archaeologist and psychic investigator T. C. Lethbridge. Lethbridge was Keeper of Anglo-Saxon Antiquities at the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology from 1922-1956. Terry Welbourn?s biography ?T.C. Lethbridge - The Man Who Saw the Future?, with a foreword written by Colin Wilson, reveals many intriguing facets of a remarkable man. What is extraordinary about Lethbridge?s life is how he witnessed and recorded the 20th century with extraordinary detail: from the discovery of new lands during his Arctic adventures, through to his pragmatic investigations into occult phenomena. Lethbridge believed that the supernatural of one generation would eventually become the natural of the next and that all occult phenomena would in time be explained by science. His understanding of dimensions operating on different vibrational rates is akin to String Theory, an ongoing branch of science instigated by theoretical physicist Gabriele Veneziano.

Pages : 236
Book Description
After being diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease I began journaling. It became a healing process. In between relapses I began writing stories of my youth and continued to what could now be called the last third of my life. Reflections of happy days spent with my grandparents, helping to care for my younger siblings, to my escape from a controlling mother. I began to realize how the conditions and environment they were living under created the turmoil and circumstances of those years. I continued to write my life through marriage, foster children, exchange students, several businesses and countless friends. The entire process made me realized what an extraordinary life I’d lived so far. How much better can it get? I can hardly wait.

Witches

Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0415604605
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Clues to T.C. Lethbridgeâe(tm)s books lie in their subtitles. Witches: Investigating an Ancient Religion is no exception. In his study of the old pagan gods of Britain, Lethbridge believed that witch cults had their roots in prehistory and eventually became a religion of the suppressed classes.Similarities between eastern and ancient western religions provided him with evidence of ancient collusion. He believed Britainâe(tm)s island status acted as a filter for external inflences and ideas. No belief on the continent ever arrived intact which made the study of British customs so intriguing.His study of Dianic belief and the transmigration of souls led him to believe in a universal, controlling intelligence. He linked the concept of the evolving mind with the Laws of Karma, the Avatars and other religious teachings of the world and concluded that Druidic belief was not a million miles away from modern psychical research.
