What is the true origin of today's widely accepted holidays-Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc.-and how did such days come to be embraced as "Christian" dogma? Likewise, what happened to the biblical festivals God gave to ancient Israel and which were observed by the original, true apostolic Church? Through the centruies, how and why were God's holy days recklessly cast aside as obsolete by orthodox "Christian" authorities?
In Occult Holidays or God's Holy Days-Which?, Fred Coulter dares to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of Christendom: How suble forces from the world of paganism-working through the centuries to create a "Christianity" devoid of its original true scriptural character-have systematically replaced the biblical seventh-day Sabbath and annual holy days with holidays born of the occult.

The first case is history. That's the famous trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, Boston's pari of immigrant anarchists executed for a murder many still say they never committed. The second case makes history-at least for Doc Adams. John Robinson, Doc's handsome, generous friend, has been found dead, his body curiously unmarked. And two of the killer's fingers are discovered lodged in the jaws of Robinson's similarly dispatched guard dog. Between the seemingly unrelated cases, generations apart, lies a critical and hazardous link that will introduce Doc to the best-kept scandals of Boston's first families and to the Mafia strongholds of the colorful North End. But Doc's prepared to gamble his life to vindicate more than one good man and to write his own brand of history.

From the earliest days of the western frontier, women heeded the call to go west along with their husbands, sweethearts, and parents. While many of these women were attached to the army camps and outposts that dotted the prairies, others were active participants in the skirmishes and battles that took place in the western territories. Each of these women-wives, mothers, daughters, laundresses, soldiers, and shamans-risked their lives in unsettled lands, facing such challenges as bearing children in primitive conditions and defying military orders in an effort to save innocent people. This book tells the stories of 12 such brave women who served their country on the early frontier.

Life in the big city was comfortable for Worth and Abbie Rooney. But as with so many others at the turn of the 19th century, the promise of land and a new life in the west was a shining light that beckoned, illuminating hearts and imaginations.
For Worth it was simple: Sell! Move West! Homestead! For Abbie the issue was more difficult, though loyalty won-and she willingly embraced his dream as her own.
And indeed, Saskatchewan was verdant and lovely, a land to be prized. But it was also harsh. Even as it promised, it threatened. Worth and Abbie knew well that it would be a struggle to care out this new existence in a territory where the summers were short and toilsome and the winters were long and lonely. They also knew that together they could overcome any adversity. But can Abbie hold onto the dream alone?

A sturdy individualist and a lover of nature, Henry David Thoreau was typical of his time and place-an epitome of the Yankee spirit. In March 1845 he set out to live life in a new way. Borrowing an ax, he built himself a wooden hut on the edge of Walden Pond, near Concord, MA where he lived until September 1847. Walden is a record of that experiment in simple living. In this fascinating work Thoreau describes his Robinson Crusoe existence, bare of creature comforts but rich in contemplation of the wonders of nature and the ways of man.

Imagine breaking the law without fear. Imagine piles of money that literally grew on trees. Those dreams became reality for David Mac after the young man from Michigan settled in Madison County, Arkansas. This is his tale about life as a marijuana moonshiner in the Ozark Mountains, and the corrupt sheriff who made it all possible. It's a story about drugs and arson, murder and suicide, friendship and betrayal. Most importantly, this book reveals one of Arkansas' darkest secrets, and demystifies one of its greatest legends: Sheriff Ralph Baker, the man who befriended David Mac, and taught him what it means to be an outlaw. This is Mac's story of damnation and redemption. From the first marijuana seed he planted, to the Devil's bargain Mac struck with Sheriff Baker, this book explores their harrowing journey on the twisted outlaw trail. Along the way, the unlikely duo of lawman and outlaw deiscomver that greed ruins even the best-laid plans, and the Devil always gets his due. Although the hills and hollows echoed with whispers after the sheriff's alleged suicide, no one deared to reveal the hidden truth behind his double life. Until now.
