PLANTING GUIDE
Prior to planting, it's essential to scarify the American Lotus (Nelumbo Lutea) seeds to break their hard seed coat and promote germination. Utilize a metal file to gently remove part of the seed coat, exposing the pale yellow center.
To begin, soak the seeds in warm water for about 24 hours to promote germination. Submerge the seeds in water, changing it daily to prevent any potential diseases, and allow them to sprout. This process typically takes around 2-4 weeks.
Once sprouted, plant the lotus in small peat pots, ensuring they are just covered in water. Be mindful that the emerging stem is, in fact, a leaf and not the taproot. As the plants grow, increase the water depth accordingly. When transplanting outdoors, exercise caution as the American Lotus is sensitive to root disturbance. Handle with care to ensure successful establishment in its new location.
Nelumbo lutea, also known as the American Lotus, thrives in a variety of water conditions, ranging from muddy shallows to depths of up to six feet. While its roots are anchored in the mud, its striking leaves and beautiful flowers gracefully float on the water's surface.
For those seeking to control its spread or facilitate relocation, cultivating the American Lotus in spacious containers immersed in water at least two feet deep can be a practical approach. It's worth noting that, despite its charm and benefits, this plant has a tendency to spread rapidly under favorable growing conditions and has been listed as an invasive species in states like Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Textbook
Format: Paperback
There was plenty of work put into this book and a lot of research. The reason why I did not give the fifth star is due to the reading of the book. To me I felt like I was back in school reading a textbook which after a time became tedious. It started to get to the point of reading too fast just to get the pages to go by. I probably missed some information as I found the book boring at times. The advice that I would give somebody is to read the book slowly and not to read too many pages and then put it down to pick it up another day. This way you can absorb the information better.

The Unalterable Truth
Format: Paperback
The publisher's description of this book claims that there would be a severe reaction within American society due to the facts Professor Stannard brought to light. There was, unfortunately yet not unexpectedly, not much of a response to the horrifying truths revealed in his compelling narrative on the fate of the Western Hemisphere's indigenous people. Most Americans simply do not seem to care whether their nation's history, from the moment Columbus set foot in "The New World" and claimed that the people he encountered would make good slaves to the immediate present, is bathed in copious amounts of indigenous people's blood. The European's behavior when they were unleashed upon the unsuspecting Native Americans reveals not only their homicidal nature and destructive approach to a relatively pristine world; but their unfathomably horrid and continuous attempts to keep the destruction and death going. Extermination was the name of the game and even a cursory glance at the American newspapers of the nineteenth century reveals a national psychology which leaves one in a vast and endless state of confusion and disbelief. But it's all true. The phrase, "The Final Solution" was coined by nineteenth century Americans, not Hitler's Germany. Tens of millions perished, an eternal food source, the buffalo herds, were almost rendered extinct and while all this was occurring the people of Africa were chained to their masters' bidding. The people of Iraq understand. So do the Vietnamese and now the Syrians and many, many, many more. Of course, on publication Dr. Stannard was labeled a crank for mostly revealing that American "exceptionalism" is merely a high falootin' excuse for mass death and destruction.

Horrifying but it is a must read
Format: Paperback
This book should be required reading for all high-school students rather than the friendly history books that treat Columbus as a hero. This man was a murderous psychopath. Strong words but after reading this powerful text you will agree. I am ashamed at what these monsters from Spain, and England and elsewhere did soon after Columbus "discovered" the Americas. And all of the sacred knowledge lost. Everything the Mayans wrote down was burned. Knowledge from prehistory--all gone. All of the knowledge from prehistory the Indians in the Amazon basin held, all of the technology on agriculture, building, medicine, sacred knowledge, and much more gone. And for what?
I cannot tell you how powerful this book is. I cannot get it out of my head. If you think black lives matter well, sorry folks indigenous Indians of the New World MATTER MORE. They should be rioting for compensation from Spain and England. Oh, I forgot, nobody's left to riot.
It was a complete deliberate genocide killing perhaps 80 million paleo-indians from the 15th century on. And they are still killing the rest of them in Mesoamerica and esp. the Amazon where oil and mineral companies are murdering the remainder. And nobody seems to care! Read this book and learn the truth finally.

In 600yrs. , life itself, is elusive
Format: Paperback
American Holocaust or books related to the Native American should be required reading. The carnage or genocide, on the inflicted erased thousands of years of culture. We have lost so much which makes us, all less. Hispaniola, had a population of 8,000,00, in 1496. By 1535 they were extinct. Equivalent to N.Y. city today. Spanish and British. One looking for gold, the latter imposing European values, to steal land. But what was most fascinating, the religious hypocrisy. To kill, enslave, torture in the name of God. Who snatches babies from their mother, and feeds them to dogs, hanging natives from a gibber, and burned alive, brand enslaved women's faces every time they are resold ? The British and Spanish were the "Very ministers of Hell".

Academic / Thought-Provoking
Format: Paperback
They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South is a powerful, eye-opening work that challenges long-held assumptions about slavery and gender in American history. Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers thoroughly dismantles the myth that white women were passive or marginal participants in the institution of slavery. Through meticulous research and extensive use of primary sources, including legal records, letters, and testimonies from formerly enslaved people—the book reveals that many white women were active, knowledgeable, and often brutal slave owners in their own right.
What makes this book especially compelling is how it centers the voices and experiences of enslaved people to expose the economic, legal, and physical power white women wielded. Jones-Rogers shows that white women not only benefited from slavery but also enforced it, defended it, and used it to build wealth and social status. The writing is clear, authoritative, and accessible, making complex historical arguments understandable without oversimplifying them.
This book is an essential read for anyone studying American history, slavery, race, or gender. It forces readers to confront uncomfortable truths and rethink narratives that have long softened or excused the role of white women in slavery. They Were Her Property is both academically rigorous and deeply impactful—a necessary contribution to honest historical understanding.
