Reseña del libro "Death of the Republic: Jesse W. James and the Emperors new Clothes (en Inglés)"
"Truth is Stranger than Fiction"Mark TwainAs a researcher of the antiquities of the Americas for nearly 30 years now, I have learned certain guidelines or rules that I have apply to my research. Among them are "The Orthodox Belief" is usually a distorted belief. In other words, it is what the majority is doing or believes and is likely the wrong thing. Another such belief is, there is opposition in all things, in an effort to find the truth of a matter, one must attempt to prove as well as disprove, after all, isn't it the truth that we want? But, if one sets out with an agenda to disprove something, all they will find will be based on what they are pre programmed to believe. If one sets out to prove something, what they find in supposed support of it, is all they will see. And one last thing, there is a pattern in ALL things... But few will learn to apply these guidelines (and many others) until the time when it will be too late...I have found that the first words in a story are the most difficult to put to paper when discussing documentation, or the facts of any given topic. The following project or topic has been an interest of mine for many years, but certainly did not take the position of priority. About 1 year ago, a document was sent to me that would change all of that It was a map of a ghost town, a town with a seemingly mysterious past. The objective of the person who sent the map to me was to learn the location of what it depicted. Upon the map was a river, a railroad, and certain specifics which seemed to lead to a nearby Confederate cache site. It according to the map was one of the larger of KGC cache sites in the western United States. The KGC (Knights of the Golden Circle) or Confederate Underground, which will be noted as CU for the remainder of this work.The CU has been grossly misunderstood in what this Civil War era organization stood for, and what they attempted to accomplish. As you might guess, history has it all backwards.The purpose of this book is to shed some light on an almost unbelievable book that was given to me in an effort to help me to understand why the ghost town map existed. I read the book with great interest, but I noticed there were some very incredible claims made throughout the book; claims which I had a hard time swallowing at first. This book is titled Jesse James Was One of His Names, written by Del Schrader in 1975.This book is the story of a man by the name of J. Frank Dalton, who in 1946 came to the public and announced he was none other than Jesse Woodsen James. The book covers many events during the times in which the world thought Jesse was dead and events prior to the staging of his own death. The General public received it quite well and much support was given, hundreds of affidavits supporting this claim. Many of the Academic and other self-proclaimed intellectuals of course had their "poo poo" sessions spawning many books themselves, articles and reviews regarding the whole idea, all eager to flex their ego during their first day at the gym. These people who have spoken out against the authenticity of the story the book had to tell, remind me of those whom I have had an occasional run in with, who claim to be the authority on the Aztec and all that is related thereto, but not a one of them seems to have read the Aztec record. In fact, many did not know it even existed. However, in order for me to show you who Jesse actually was, and the commission he was given and accepted, and what the Confederate or South was really all about, I must step back into my past to a time I do not regret, but much despise, as it is a time where in I first applied the many principles
