Badlands and Giant Heads (Mount Rushmore) - A Trip Through the Dakotas by Dale Olausen (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

North and South Dakota are nearly dead center in the middle of North America and might well be considered the heart of The Heartland, at least geographically and perhaps culturally and politically. Though they are not as popular as the tourist destinations of the coasts or the mountain regions, they have their own stark beauty and western frontier attraction. Indeed, anyone who wants to truly understand America should put these two states on their list of places to visit. Both states are rather sparsely populated yet still possess many fascinating historical, geological and cultural features. Key among these are the Badlands of North and South Dakota, The Black Hills of South Dakota, including the famous historical western settlement of Deadwood, Mount Rushmore National Monument, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. There are also many thriving smaller cities such as Fargo, Sioux Falls and Grand Forks, which have benefitted from the oil boom of the recent past, yet maintain the tradition of rural and small city friendliness. This account focusses on a ten-day road trip in June 2010, beginning in Winnipeg Manitoba (just north of the Dakotas), travelling through the western part of North Dakota, then through South Dakota and back up to Canada via the eastern side of North Dakota. The dramatic natural beauty of the Badlands of North and South Dakota are contrasted with the man-made wonder of Mount Rushmore and the historical landmarks of the Black Hills and the Lake Sacagawea region. The book is about 10,000 words, about an hour at typical reading speeds.

Nazi Secrets: An Occult Breach in the Fabric of History by Frank Lost (105 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Nazi secrets are weird enough. It is therefore unnecessary to add more fantasies to the genuine historical facts in the field of Nazi occultism, especially when it comes to their expeditions and their pseudo-scientific researches. The true amateur of sensational and strange stories can still be fully satisfied with Himmler's Witch Project, or the Hollow Earth Theory. In many aspects, the Nazi era was like a breach in space and time. What happened during these almost 12 years of dictatorship, at the heart of Europe in one of the most civilized and industrially advanced countries, does not match the moral, philosophical and religious values that prevailed everywhere else at the same time in the world. There is therefore a need to revisit all historical facts linked to Nazi "oddities" that one rarely finds in mainstream historians' books. This book aims at separating these facts, however esoteric and strange they can be, from post-war fabrications and commercial lies. The amateur of mysteries and dark secrets will not be disappointed, though, since in this quest reality is often stranger than fiction. CONTENTS (including rare pictures) : HISTORICAL ODDITIES Non-Whites & Jews in the German Army Spring of Life and Baby Abductions Lake Toplitz: the Nazi Abyss Werewolves The Underground Reich Der Riese The Jonas Valley Wonder Weapons NAZI OCCULTISM The Hollow Earth Theory World Ice Theory Neuschwabenland The Ahnenerbe Cancelled expeditions Human experiments The Wewelsburg Hexen Files Hitler and Magic Wotan and the Aryan Archetype POST WAR MYTHS The Morning of the Magicians Hitler's Death The Mystic Treasure of the SS Fantasy Wonder Weapons Die Glocke Strahlkanone Nazi UFOs The Amerika Bomber Project The Genocide Nazism Becomes a Semi-Religious Movement The Black Sun The Vril
