Product Description
Coral Castle is the first book to take an objective, journalistic look at one of America's most intriguing places Coral Castle, located in Homestead, Florida. Edward Leedskalnin, an eccentric Latvian immigrant, built Coral Castle in the 1920s and 30s. Working alone with primitive tools, he quarried, carved, and set in place more than 1,100 tons of coral rock, creating what is commonly known as the American Stonehenge. How he accomplished this amazing feat remains a mystery. Some believe he was simply a talented stonemason and engineer. Many others believe he had somehow harnessed anti-gravity powers. Several books have been written on Ed's otherworldly powers and he has become a cult figure to those who believe in extra-terrestrials and the magnetic grid theory. In Coral Castle, Rusty McClure and Jack Heffron survey the theories and tell the story through journalistic investigation and interviews with experts on all sides of the argument.

I did learn a lot about this mysterious man as well as the castle. It has made me anxious to visit this place sometime when I'm in the area but there was not even some educated guesses as to how it was built. Neither did it give much information as to how this was done over a time span of years without anyone ever seeing the rocks moving or being dug up. All it said was that he worked at night and seemed to sense when he was being watched. Now surely sometime in the many years that he took to build and move them someone would have seen something. I just can't believe that in a populated area such as he was in that it could have been done in complete secrecy in an outdoor environment. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  A Work of Art-Both in the Telling of the Story and the Fortress, By This review is from: Coral Castle: The Story of Ed Leedskalnin and his American Stonehenge (Hardcover) This book has the most in depth review/research of this, truly, amazing phenomenom. How this, supposedly uneducated, rail thin man could spend most of his entire adult life building a castle out of coral/stone, each piece weighing megatons, is the stuff of the supernatural. Most of Edward Leedskalnin's life is a mystery. It is incredible that the authors (Mr. McClure and Mr. Heffron) found out so much about this recluse of a man. I can see how difficult and daunting a task it must have been to write such a book, given all the references and interviews noted. I would reccomend Coral Castle to anyone, not just history and supernatural buffs. I rate this a 5-star production. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: The Attraction of Freedom and Antigravity, By This review is from: Coral Castle: The Story of Ed Leedskalnin and his American Stonehenge (Hardcover) This book sheds some light on the mystery yet the important question is still unanswered: How did Ed lift 18,000 pounds coral blocks to those heights using simple primitive homemade tools? The fact that the man worked mostly at nighttime proves he was hiding something, yet how a peasant from Latvia with no education had learned to successfuly use levitation and knowledge of the laws of antigravity? I have read this book and find it interesting yet as most of the writings about Leedskalnin and his mysterious castle, the mystery is anybody's guess. The fact is that Ed continues to be, unless somebody either travel in time to in depth interview him, or astral connect with his mind: a profound mystery. He said he was motivated to build that thing after a heartbreaking rejection, and to ad injury to insult right at the altar, by a ten year his junior 16 year old girl. The point is that he was logging in the cold forests of Oregon and Washington... Read more |
