Eckert. The novel is from the apocalyptic fiction subgenre. Eckert believed that the real-world facts and conclusions he quoted in the novel, were worthy of further exploration... The book explores a version of pole shift hypothesis postulated by Professor Charles Hapgood in two volumes, plus the 1967 book Cataclysms of the Earth by Hugh Auchincloss Brown. 'Fun' introduction to the pole shift notion |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83745569 United States 06/24/2022 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Found an old prayer book from the early twentieth century in the Goodwill. It is written in Slovak. I barely passed German in High School, so this is beyond me. Looks like a prayer book to the "saints", some version of Catholic I'm assuming. "obraz zivotopis svatych pouceni a modlitba" If any Slovaks out there who would like it, I'd be glad to mail it to them. Looks like it came from a Slovak church near Uniontown, PA. I believe lots of Eastern European immigrants in the late nineteenth century settled in the coal mining areas of western PA and West Virginia. I'm guessing it was from one of those congregations. |

It was published in the early 1900's. It was a a horrible topic glorifying the wholesale slaughter and seeing the hunters as heroes...but it was a great book full of crazy facts. |
