Welcome to this comprehensive directory compiling my Substack articles on the fascinating topics of Native American origins, diffusionist theories, ancient giants, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, Mound Builders, and pre-Columbian arrivals in the Americas. These pieces draw from 19th-century primary sources, archaeological debates, Native myths, and speculative histories to challenge conventional narratives about who first inhabited and explored the New World. Organized into thematic categories for easy navigation, this master article serves as a one-stop resource to explore interconnected ideas across time and cultures. Each category begins with a brief introduction, followed by summaries of relevant articles with direct links. I’ve grouped them based on overlapping themes like mythological parallels, artifact discoveries, and migration theories, suggesting reading paths where articles build on each other—for instance, starting with flood myths before diving into Lost Tribes connections, or tracing giant legends alongside mound excavations to see how they fuel diffusionist speculations.

In the aftermath of the American Civil War, personal accounts from soldiers offered raw glimpses into the brutal realities of conflict, far removed from romanticized histories. George Cary Eggleston’s Southern Soldier Stories captures the unvarnished experiences of Confederate troops, emphasizing not just battles but the everyday struggles against scarcity and deprivation. This excerpt from his collection, titled “Random Facts,” vividly illustrates the ingenuity and endurance of Southern soldiers amid profound shortages—of clothing, medicine, ammunition, and even food—highlighting how necessity forged both practical innovations and spiritual resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, where survival often depended on makeshift solutions and unyielding determination.
