Your reference to the Shelton book is an encouragement to start a thread on books that should not be taken seriously- or something like that. I think I will!

Hey, Bill!

Yes - I have both books....TRIED to read Eisenschiml YEARS ago - actually took it to the beach with me when I was about 21-22 years old as "beach reading" while I got a tan -- hey, most ladies take romance novels -- I took assassination books! HA! Anyway -- I couldn't get through it.

Shelton's second book which I also have (bought on a lark) called The View from Eternity (Ouija Board anyone?) described how Shelton's wife "channeled" Lew Powell's ghost and asked him all about the Seward attack, etc. The most amazing thing I got out of skimming through it (God forbid that I read the darn thing!) was that he describes Lew Powell's one-eyed horse as a "gelding" (castrated male horse) when he ties him out in front of Seward's house, but when Lew jumps onto the saddle to flee after the attack, his one-eyed nag has mysteriously somehow turned into a "stallion" (full, uncut male!) Just how this veterinary medical miracle occurs is beyond me and must also be part of the psychic phenomenon which was utilized to "materialize" Lew Powell to begin with! HA!

There are a LOT of "bad" books -

and......I don't have the answer, but Betty when you mentioned Vaughn Shelton's wife it made me think of this...What do call a "medium" who is extra large?

An Extra Medium?!? Enough Said!!!
