An investigation into the discoveries of Lewis and Clark and other early explorers of America and the terrible acts committed to suppress them
- Provides archaeological proof of giants, the fountain of youth, and descriptions from Lewis's journals of a tribe of "nearly white, blue-eyed" Indians
- Uncovers evidence of explorers from Europe and Asia prior to Columbus and of ancient civilizations in North America and the Caribbean
- Investigates the Smithsonian conspiracy to cover up Lewis and Clark's discoveries and what lead to Lewis's murder
Meriwether Lewis discovered far more than the history books tell--ancient civilizations, strange monuments, "nearly white, blue-eyed" Indians, and evidence that the American continent was visited long before the first European settlers arrived. And he was murdered to keep it all secret.
Examining the shadows and cracks between America's official version of history, Xaviant Haze and Paul Schrag propose that the America of old taught in schools is not the America that was discovered by Lewis and Clark and other early explorers. Investigating the discoveries of Spanish conquistadors and Olmec stories of contact with European-like natives, the authors uncover evidence of explorers from Europe and Asia prior to Columbus, sophisticated ancient civilizations in North America and the Caribbean, the fountain of youth, and a long-extinct race of giants. Verifying stories from Lewis's journals with modern archaeological finds, geological studies, 18th- and 19th-century newspapers, and accounts of the world in the days of Columbus, the authors reveal how Lewis and Clark's finds infuriated powerful interests in Washington--including the Smithsonian Institution--culminating in the murder of Meriwether Lewis.

Hilarious hypothetical conversations spanning time and space. Lady Bird Johnson and Marilyn Monroe discuss the virtues of love and marriage. Coco Chanel and Christopher Marlow weigh in on sexuality. Noel Coward discusses sex with Tennessee Williams. But matters of the heart aren't the only topics addressed by luminaries from Sophocles to Barack Obama. Carl Jung reveals the secret to psychiatry: "Show me a sane man and I'll cure him for you." Oprah Winfrey explains why she gave up her dream of becoming an interior designer: "It's easier for me to make multi-million dollar decisions, than decide on carpet for my porch." John Paul I examines the mystery of preordination: "If someone had told me I would be Pope one day, I would have studied harder." Some of history's greatest minds - and a few notables who speak as if they've lost theirs - ponder life and its impact on the one person who has dominated mankind's thoughts, dreams and aspirations since the beginning of time.
