Book excerpt: As the year 1326 draws to a close, London is in flames. King Edward II is a prisoner, and the forces of his vengeful queen, Isabella, and her lover Sir Roger Mortimer, are in the ascendant. The Bardi family, bankers who have funded the King, must look to their future with the Queen, steering a careful course between rival factions – if, that is, they can keep themselves alive. Others, too, find their loyalties torn. Guarding the deposed King on behalf of Mortimer, Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and bailiff Simon Puttock find themselves entangled in a tightening net of conspiracy, greed, betrayal and murder.

John Wilkes Booth, who lived just four blocks from the treasure site, was one of the K.G.C.'s most ardent and outspoken members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1860, during their first attempt to create the Golden Circle, several thousand Knights assembled in southern Texas to "colonize" the northern Mexico. Due to insufficient resources and organizational shortfalls, however, that filibuster failed. Later, the Knights shifted their focus and began pushing for disunion, spearheading prosecession rallies, and intimidating Unionists in the South. They appointed regional military commanders from the ranks of the South's major political and military figures, including men such as Elkanah Greer of Texas, Paul J. Semmes of Georgia, Robert C. Tyler of Maryland, and Virginius D. Groner of Virginia. Followers also established allies with the South's rabidly prosecession "fire-eaters," which included individuals such as Barnwell Rhett, Louis Wigfall, Henry Wise, and William Yancy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't understand the Lincoln Assassination without understanding the Knights of the Golden Circle, the most powerful and secret society in all America at that time. It is somewhat unusual to know how very little has been written about this organization, especially when I've just finished six novels in the series based on hundreds of newspaper articles, periodicals, and magazines. Their existence was well established before the Civil War. The organization grew out of Southern Rights Clubs in the South who were mostly interested in opening up more territory to slavery. These secret clubs financed slave ships that continued to illegally abduct Africans after the slave trade became officially abolished in 1808. In 1855, George Bickley, a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, organized the Southern Rights movement into the highly secretive Knights of the Golden Circle, also known in abbreviated form as the KGC, a volunteer militia initially formed for a new invasion of Mexico. The words in this book were actually written by a member of the Order who never revealed his name. This book will give great insight into who the KGC were and what their purpose was for existence. The Knights of the Golden Circle merged with the expansionist Order of the Lone Star in 1858 and planned an invasion of Mexico which was eventually aborted by a senator from Texas, his name Sam Houston. After calling off the attack, the KGC aimed at fueling secession. State regimental leaders, in concert with folks like John Pettus, Henry Wise, and Texas Ranger Ben McColloch, helped the Knights of the Golden Circle evolve into the paramilitary spearhead of the secessionist movement. These military units came to be known as the Minute Men in South Carolina and the Texas Knights in Texas, over 8,000 strong. There were many discussed attempts on Abraham Lincoln's life, beginning with one organized by the Knights of the Golden Circle in February 1861. The person involved was a hairdresser from Baltimore by the name of Cipriano Ferrandini. He was accused but never indicted for plotting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln on February 23, 1861. There has been much discussion of the Knights of the Golden Circle and their influence on the events of that fateful night in Washington City on April 14, 1865. Newspaper articles across the nation advertised the need for troops to muster in Brownsville, Texas in 1860 to eventually attack Mexico. These plans were called off due to the tension between the North and South, and the constant talk of secession. Names associated with the Knights of the Golden Circle (not necessarily proven to be a member) were: President Franklin Pierce, George W. L. Bickley, Brigadier General Elkanah Greer, John Wilkes Booth, Buckner Stith Morris, Lambdin P. Milligan, Jesse James, and Samuel Mudd, one of the accused Lincoln Assassination conspirators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States today is a divided nation and some say the country may be heading toward breakup, or possibly civil war. That has happened before and the result was disastrous. As many as 750,000 Americans perished during the Civil War. A study of the causes of our last Civil War may help to prevent another.The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) played a major role in starting the Civil War in the United States. Although intended to remain a secret organization of conspirators, it is perhaps the most well-documented conspiracy in United States history. The goal of the KGC was the creation of a new society separate from the United States dedicated to the preservation and expansion of slavery into Latin America.The KGC existed in almost every state in the Union, but nowhere was it as powerful and successful as it was in Texas. Several governors, many senators and military leaders were members, having taken an oath to support the organization and their fellow members. Most of the documents generated by the KGC were destroyed after the war ended as its members feared execution for treason. Not everything was destroyed, though. This book relies on documents created by the organization and its members that have not previously been used by researchers. Many members of this organization remained in positions of authority in state affairs after the abolition of slavery. This book goes far beyond previous published work in establishing the identities of the members of this organization who promoted and encouraged the most disastrous war in American history.Randolph W. Farmer is a native Texan from a family whose ancestors first came to Texas as early as 1817 when it was still a Spanish possession. He is the author of two previously published books on Texas history.

This book was released on with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Saturday, June 17th, 2023; The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated with their adoring fans at Toshiba Plaza just east of T-Mobile Arena. Unbeknownst to us, a drone show had been planned, paid for, and was already in the works for us revelers below. The drone show contractor was the amazing folks and UAS/UAV pilots from Sky Elements USA! Personally, I was expecting a ton of crazy fireworks. However, I spotted just over the Toshiba Plaza Parking Structure the drones en route to their airborne stage. I started flying drones in 2015. I have been a tenured drone (UAS UAV) pilot for 8.5 years. I consider myself a seasoned veteran when it comes to dynamic drone aerial videography. I had seen drone shows that were spectacular at the Disney World theme parks and Universal Orlando. They used to have large screens placed around the park and viewing areas. They projected video on sheets of fountain water and the leaves of the nearby trees, which looks rather slick. Then I saw an animated Disney one with the infamous animated characters “goofing around” in the night sky. I was driving the I-4 corridor coming back from Clearwater Beach, FL; and I saw another one that looked like Universal Orlando’s as I drove past the attractions. It was very cool, but the Disney drone show was slightly better. This was five years ago approximately when I attended or viewed these shows in Florida. None were as sensational as 6/17/23. You can actually see individual tree leaves and dark/unlit drones in the sky in this Ultra High Definition video captured. If you are patient when loading your video, The 4K UHD playback experience will be well worth it on a compatible screen. I also included a short biography of my experience piloting drones since 2015. My tenth drone is a DJI drone. My favorite drone to fly and perform aerial video capture with, in 4K UHD mind you, was my Yuneec Typhoon Q450. The drone I piloted a dozen times over South Beach, Middle Beach, and North Beach in Miami Beach, FL was my Yuneec Typhoon Q450. I hope that this becomes a loved 4K UHD video that can be considered a time capsule hockey fan gem. 'Go Knights Go!' Defeat The Fortress Dragon with a REPEAT championship title next season in The 2024 Realm of Knights on ice! "We GOT the Cup!" baby...
