ABRAHAM LINCOLN: THE SOUTHERN VIEW
Demythologizing America's Sixteenth President

By Lochlainn Seabrook.  Foreword by Clint Johnson.

Find out what pro-North Yankees, New South scallywags, Lincoln apologists, Lincoln scholars, Lincoln worshipers, and liberal educators don't want you to know.  Read the book they want to ban.  What are they so afraid of?  The truth about Abraham Lincoln!

Nearly everything you know about him comes from Northern history books and historians.  But if you want to know who he really was, you'll need to read about him from the Southern perspective.

In Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View, Mr. Seabrook provides an in-depth look at our sixteenth president as seen through the eyes of Dixie.  Revealed is a man completely unknown to most Americans, both North and South; a crafty, unscrupulous, ultra-liberal politician whose primary agenda was to destroy the idea of states' rights in the South and install big-government in Washington.  And, as Lincoln himself said repeatedly in public, he was willing to do this with or without ending slavery.

Five years in the making, exhaustively researched, with over 2,000 footnotes and a 700-book bibliography, this is an important work for all those interested in authentic American history.  You will never look at Lincoln, his War, or the South the same way again.  Foreword by bestselling author Clint Johnson (The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South).

COMING AUGUST 2010


A REBEL BORN: A DEFENSE OF NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST
Confederate General, American Legend

By Lochlainn Seabrook.  Foreword by Dr. Clyde N. Wilson.

General Nathan Bedford Forrest was a brave and ingenious Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years before Lincoln issued his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation. And unlike liberal Lincoln, who purposefully delayed abolition, hindered black social and political advancement, and campaigned throughout his life to have all blacks deported out of the U.S., after the War conservative Forrest crusaded to bring new African immigrants into the South - with full civil rights.

No one would know any of this by reading the typical works on Forrest, however, nearly all which are written and published by anti-South proponents. In fact, according to most Northern and New South authors Forrest was a violent redneck, an unregenerate racist, a barbaric slave trader, a philandering husband, an illiterate hillbilly, the founder and grand wizard of the KKK, and "the butcher of Fort Pillow." None of this is true, but it continues to be presented in our history books as fact.

In "A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest - Confederate General, American Legend," unreconstructed Southern author Lochlainn Seabrook reveals the truth about one of history's most fascinating, charismatic, complex, romantic, and unique individuals. In this refreshingly positive appraisal of Forrest, Seabrook corrects the many falsehoods about him, and, using well researched documentation, shows that the modern negative image of the General derives almost solely from slanderous myths created 150 years ago by Lincoln's anti-South propaganda machine.

The longest book ever written on Forrest, it includes his life story, over 2,000 footnotes, hundreds of photos and illustrations (many never before seen by the public), a list of Forrest's military engagements, a Forrest life calendar, Forrest and Montgomery family trees, dozens of official field reports, an 800-book bibliography, a detailed index, and more.

Learn the facts about Forrest, facts that have been wantonly suppressed by enemies of the South. Next time someone denigrates the General, recommend A Rebel Born!  Foreword is by Dr. Clyde Wilson (Defending Dixie: Essays in Southern History and Culture), Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of South Carolina.

BRITANNIA RULES
Goddess-worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society
An Academic Look at the United
Kingdom's Matricentric Spiritual Past

 

By Lochlainn Seabrook.

This unique and captivating book celebrates a seldom discussed, yet long and noble English, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish tradition; one that dates back to the earliest inhabitants of the British Isles: female-based religion.

In "Britannia Rules" the author Lochlainn Seabrook overturns the long-standing notion that the first Britons and Celts were "patriarchal" and that they worshiped a male "Heavenly Father."  Using the latest archaeological, anthropological, etymological, onomastic, historical, and mythological evidence, he shows that both the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts were actually matriarchal peoples who venerated the Supreme Being in female form.

This "Heavenly Mother" of the early Celto-Britons was none other than the universal "Great Goddess," venerated around the ancient world under a myriad of names, and who manifested in ancient Egypt as Isis, in Judaism as Asherah, in Islam as Allat, in Hinduism as Kali Ma, in Gnostic Christianity as Sophia, in orthodox Christianity as Mary, and in Buddhism as Mara.

In light of the overwhelming worldwide reemergence of feminine spirituality, the advent of the Goddess Reclamation Movement, the recent resurgence of British and American interest in traditional Anglo-Celtic culture, and the new found interest in the real relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, this is a topical work; one that will be read with keen interest, not only by those readers who are of English and Celtic heritage, but by people of all nationalities and faiths.

CARNTON PLANTATION GHOST STORIES
True Tales of the Unexplained
From Tennessee's Most Haunted Civil War House!

By Lochlainn Seabrook.

There is good reason why the town of Franklin's Carnton Plantation is called "Tennessee's most haunted Civil War house."  The home, built in the early 1800s by the author's cousins, the McGavocks, has been the scene of countless tragedies and deaths during its 200 years, the most notable being on November 30, 1864, during the War for Southern Independence (the "Civil War" to Yanks).

It was on this day that the Battle of Franklin II was fought just yards from Carnton, pitting a freezing and starving Army of Tennessee against Lincoln's well fed, well equipped, illegal invaders.  When the smoke cleared nearly 2,000 Confederates lay dead, with thousands more seriously injured.

Hundreds of these men were brought to Carnton for medical treatment, for the plantation had been designated a Confederate field hospital by President Jefferson Davis.  That night, and in the weeks following, many more died in and around Carnton.  Eventually some 1,750 Rebel soldiers from Franklin II were buried in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, located on the northwest corner of the plantation's grounds.

It is little wonder that Carnton is still haunted 150 years later.  Bizarre apparitions, strange mists, unearthly voices, heart-rending screams, and other astonishing paranormal activities have been witnessed by hundreds of individuals over the years, including Mr. Seabrook himself, who worked as a tour guide at the historic home.

The author provides a short history of Carnton, as well as a pro-South discussion of Lincoln's War and the Battle of Franklin II, dozens of photos and illustrations, a ghost hunter's glossary, and much more.  The centerpiece of the book is the inclusion of fourteen authentic ghost stories.  For those interested in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, a complete indexed list of the Rebel dead is included as well.

CHRISTMAS BEFORE CHRISTIANITY
How the Birthday of the "Sun"
Became the Birthday of the "Son"

By Lochlainn Seabrook.

Even the most orthodox Christian theologians and fundamentalist Bible scholars admit that Jesus' exact birth date is unknown. Why then is His birthday observed between late December and early January around the world?

As Christian author Lochlainn Seabrook reveals in this fascinating and exhaustively researched work, the answer is to be found in the Goddess-based vegetation religions of prehistory and their astrological reverence for our neighborhood star, the Sun.

Ten years in the making, "Christmas Before Christianity" explores the pre-Christian foundations of humanity's most popular holiday, including the many Pagan gods, goddesses, myths, rituals, legends, ceremonies, customs, and beliefs that contributed to its creation and development. Special emphasis is placed on ancient Egypt, where a majority of our modern "Christmas traditions" can be traced.

This sensational 300-page book will not only provoke discussion, but will also inspire a renewed appreciation for both the religion of Christ and for the annual celebration of His birth.

THE BLAKENEYS
AN ETYMOLOGICAL & ETHNOLOGICAL STUDY
Unveiling the Mysterious Origins
of the Blakeney Family and Name

 

By Lochlainn Seabrook.  Foreword by Ray H. Blakeney.

The Blakeneys have proven to be one of the world's most intriguing families. And for good reason. Few families can be traced as far back, and few possess as many notable individuals and characters, ranging from governors, lords, barons, military heroes, surgeons, reverends, MPs, judges, barristers, and sheriffs, to outlaws, heretics, scoundrels, and outright scallywags.

The Blakeneys were present at such famous conflicts as the Battle of Hastings (the Norman Invasion of England), the Culloden Massacre, the English Civil War, the American Revolutionary War, and the American War for Southern Independence. As this restless people spread out across the world, they settled in every corner of the globe, from Greece, India, Mauritius, Australia, and Africa, to England, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Cuba. Little wonder that the Blakeneys have been so earnestly and thoroughly studied over the years.

Yet, despite this intense scrutiny, two vitally important and unanswered questions remain: What does the name Blakeney mean? And where did the Blakeneys originate?  In the opinion of many, these issues have never been fully resolved.

Seabrook's The Blakeneys: An Etymological and Ethnological Study, seeks to correct this deficiency. The result is a riveting, edifying, and altogether surprising journey of discovery, from the mist-enshrouded period of the Vikings to the present day.  Thoroughly researched and comprehensive in scope, Seabrook, author of the equally enthralling The Caudills: An Etymological, Ethnological, and Genealogical Study, has combined history with genealogy in a detailed and absorbing narrative of encyclopedic proportions.

Includes a large Blakeney family tree (dating from the Twelfth Century), photos, maps, a Blakeney etymological dictionary, various related documents, and additional material on Blakeney place-names, Blakeney spelling variations, and the surname Blake.  Foreword by Ray H. Blakeney, former President of the Blakeney/Blakley Association.

THE BOOK OF KELLE
An Introduction to Goddess-Worship
and the Great Celtic Mother-Goddess Kelle,
Original Blessed Lady of Ireland

By Lochlainn Seabrook. 

An introduction to Goddess-worship and thealogy (the scientific study of Goddess-centered religion), the work ends with a discussion on the ancient Celtic female Supreme Being, Kelle.  Known by bards and poets as "the Blessed Lady of Ireland," Kelle's story is a rich and absorbing one, one that Mr. Seabrook traces back through to early Asia, where she is still worshiped to this day as the Goddess Kali.  Kelle, of course, gave her name to the Kelts (or Celts) and to those early Goddess-worshiping Irish men and women, the Kellys.

THE CAUDILLS
 AN ETYMOLOGICAL, ETHNOLOGICAL,
& GENEALOGICAL STUDY
Exploring the Name and National Origins
of a European-American Family

By Lochlainn Seabrook.  Foreword by Delmerene Caudill.

"This wonderfully written and meticulously researched book is a treasure-trove of fun and amazing Caudill information, which includes everything from maps to the Cawdor Castle in Scotland, useful Websites, and an extensive Caudill family tree, to our family Coat of Arms, a list of Caudill researchers, and lovely old-fashioned illustrations of down-home country life!

"Within these pages the author, himself a Caudill descendant, has lovingly shared the benefit of his background in etymology and genealogy, along with his extensive scholarly research into the origins and meaning of the Caudill surname.

"Who knew, for example, that its roots lie in ancient India, or that in Medieval Europe it was an everyday word connected with witches, healing, and teetolalism?

"This is an utterly captivating and singular book that each and every person with an interest in the Caudills will be proud to have in their library. With its wealth of helpful research data on not only the Caudills, but on allied families as well, this is a 'must have' for all family members, friends, and researchers." - from the Foreword by Delmerene Caudill of Letcher County, Kentucky.

THE GODDESS DICTIONARY OF WORDS & PHRASES
Introducing a New Core Vocabulary for
the Women's Spirituality Movement

By Lochlainn Seabrook.

"The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases is an educational compendium of vital information regarding the universal deity known around the world for thousands of years as 'Goddess.'  As such, this work focuses specifically on various androcentric or patriarchal terms, expressions, and maxims, from ancient to modern times.  The author, Mr. Seabrook, has taken these and feminized (or emasculated) them, a process that has created a new core vocabulary of feministic Goddess-oriented words and phrases.

"Interestingly, many of his inventions are what could rightfully be called 'new old' words and phrases.  That is, he is taking the God-based wording of our modern male-dominant vocabulary and simply returning it to its original prehistoric feminine form.  After the Patriarchal Takeover (which began c. 4300 BCE), misogynistic priests masculinized them, suppressing the original feminine versions.  The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrase allows these ancient, silenced expressions, dedicated to the Great Mother, to be brought back to life." - from the Introduction.

THE McGAVOCKS OF CARNTON PLANTATION
A SOUTHERN HISTORY
Celebrating One of Dixie's Most Noble
Confederate Families and Their Tennessee Home

 

By Lochlainn Seabrook.

A defense of this fascinating Confederate family against 150 years of Northern slander, Yankee mythology, and New South disinformation, this book includes:

● A detailed history of the McGavocks and Carnton Plantation, from 1700 to the present

● A "you-are-there" tour of Carnton Plantation, top to bottom, interior and exterior

UFOs & ALIENS: THE COMPLETE GUIDEBOOK

UFOs & Aliens: The Complete Guidebook, by Lochlainn Seabrook

By Lochlainn Seabrook.  Foreword by Nick Pope.

UFOS & Aliens is a unique non-fiction book that's packed with everything you'll ever want to know about ETs and their out-of-this-world spacecraft.

The author, Lochlainn Seabrook, a former teacher's aid and tour guide, knows how to make learning fun, and so his book is both enjoyable and educational.  Moving briskly through the various aspects of ufology, he touches on such topics as the history of UFOs, detailed descriptions of aliens and their vehicles, alien abduction, cattle mutilations, mystery helicopters, crop circles, MIBs, skeptics, and the worldwide cover-up of UFOs.

He also provides concrete evidence that UFOs are real, a UFO sighting report form, and lists of suggested books, Websites, DVDs, clubs, and conferences, as well as a chapter that teaches children how to become UFO watchers and even ufologists.  Included are thirty-seven authentic casebook studies.

If you're looking for something on UFOs that explains them away as weather balloons, space debris, birds, meteors, or secret experimental aircraft, this is not the book for you.

Having had his own UFO sightings, Mr. Seabrook respects his topic, writing with the enthusiasm and open-mindedness of a true believer rather than with the negativity and bias of a debunker.  Still, his approach is essentially scientifically provisional, a refreshing position that only adds to the academic value of this enjoyable and intriguing work.

A complete guidebook in every sense of the word, Seabrook's UFOs & Aliens is a must-have for anyone who's interested in the UFO phenomenon.  Foreword by Nick Pope, the "Real Fox Mulder," head of the British Government's UFO Project, 1991-1994, and the bestselling author of Open Skies, Closed Minds.

Mr. Seabrook's book includes positive blurbs by:

● Timothy Good, world-leading UFO authority and author of the bestseller Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up

● Dr. Stanton Friedman, nuclear physicist and co-author of Crash At Corona

● Dr. Bruce Maccabee, naval physicist and co-author of UFOs Are Real, Here's the Proof

John Schuessler, International Director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
