Doc Jim's Book of WHO CARES!?

Doc Jim's Book of WHO CARES!? (Paperback book of trivia)

Price: $14.95

    Sit back, dear reader, and open your mind to a world you may have once dismissed with an utterance of "Who cares!?" whenever the word "trivia" was mentioned...
     This work is not a modest collection of trivial data filched from an Internet search, since Information of this type is not altogether accurate. Nor does it lean on circumstances thought true for years, yet found unreliable under tight examination. Rather, the author has thoroughly researched each piece of trivia enclosed within these pages, sourcing many with dates, records and period artwork for the most accurate of obtainable facts...
    At any rate, whether or not you respect that awesome word "trivia" after reading this little volume, wouldn't it be nice to take home a lot of extra money because you knew something someone else didn't?
    Amply illustrated!

    Still, belied by an outward appearance of avarice during the early days in his career, he had an inner earnestness to do his fellow man well, which surfaced as his affluence grew. “A rich rogue,” he would quote in the first issue of Poor Richard’s Almanack in 1733, “is like a fat hog, who never does good until dead as a log.” Of his final belief in this, we shall observe in these pages....

DEFIANCE! A Saga of David Crockett and the Alamo - Third Edition

DEFIANCE! A Saga of David Crockett and the Alamo - Third Edition (Paperback)

Price: $22.50

    "In 1835, David Crockett's political career crumbled and he left Tennessee in search of a new homestead in Texas. But signs of war with Mexico brought him to San Antonio de Bexar, where he died in a defiant determination to live up to his legend. This singular gesture outstripped everything his bureaucratic promoters did to extend his reputation for fearlessness and integrity, leaving the final and most decisive act of legend entirely his own."
    This work takes you from his ancestral beginnings to his birth and early adventures; to the Creek War; to his sadness and Congress - all the way to the Alamo, and beyond...
    It also answers two compelling questions: When did "Davy" start calling himself David? And did he surrender at the Alamo?...
    Also learn: How David's first wife, Polly, died... Who suggested Travis and Bowie as co-commanders of the Alamo... How many defenders really died in the final assault.
    And much more...
    Illustrated with period paintings, maps and photographs.

A Quest For Absolute Power

A Quest For Absolute Power (Paperback)

Price: $12.50

    From his very beginning man has struggled for truth through some form of religion. Unfortunately, one accepted creed traveled through time unacceptable to any basic truth.
    The Roman Catholic Church had long ago accepted man's thoughts over God's, creating its own form of worship. This was often a deceptive, if not clearly a dishonest route to theocentric ethics - needed in a successful search for God's Truth.
    Clerics and prelates waved God aside as they interpreted His meaning to benefit themselves in their quest for worldly riches - for absolute power...
    Illustrated with period paintings, etchings and photographs.
