pp. xii, 285. Age stained. ** Presented by the Author to Rev. Erastus Scranton. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, embossed in blind. Gilt lettered spine. Very slight loss at extremities. Hardbound. First Edition. Rev. Erastus Scranton was born in 1777 at East Guilford, CT. Educated at Yale College, he became Pastor of The Congregational Church of Burlington, CT from Jan. 1830 to May 1840. After retiring from the pulpit he operated his farm on Scranton Mountain, now Savarese Lane, and was Town Treasurer for a number of years. His hearing became quite impaired, the Congregation voted that he should sit beside the minister so that he could hear the service. He lived in the Barton House, (Later the Farmington Savings Bank) in the Center. He died Oct. 5, 1861. On the author see: From the NY Times: May 27, 1864 : "Some years ago there appeared in the Springfield Republican a series of letters from Europe, signed by "Dunn Browne," which were widely copied and much admired for their sprightly vivacity. They ware from the pen of Mr. SAMUEL FISKE, a graduate of Amherst College, in the class of 1848, and the author of a well-known college text-book, a translation of ESCHENBERG's Manual of Greek and Roman Antiquities. Mr. FISKE was a clergyman, settled at Madison, Conn., when the war broke out; but he left the pulpit for the field, and dropped the "reverend" for a Lieutenant's title. After fighting bravely in the several battles, he was taken prisoner by the rebels, and detained for some time in Richmond. During the battle of the Wilderness, Captain -- for he was promoted from a Lieutenancy - Fiske was mortally wounded. He was conveyed to Fredericksburg, where, in a private house, he received the attention of personal friends, and of his wife and other members of his family. His death has taken from the Union ranks a brave, intelligent officer; from literary circles, a lively, versatile writer, and from the newspaper world, an admirable "war correspondent." TRAVEL/8

147 pages including index. Prehistoric dates and more dates have been computed to provide admissibility for the mythic history of Homo sapiens in a framework of recorded mythological events, as well as the arrival of a planetoid which triggered the last Ice Age and the Flood, its hypothetical crash in northeastern Canada that brought forth Halley's comet. Atlantis and Mu are refurbished, and the existence of ancient 'atomic piles' in some pyramids of Egypt proclaimed by the author. In all, a think-piece that challenges the imagination of every reader of this controversial thesis! Includes occasional black and white illustrations. Minor rubbing to top corner of front cover. Rubber stamp upon front cover and top edge. Several rubber stamps upon title page. Moderate wear. Book
