Col. Carrol A. Lake, engineer and author, spent two years interviewing the people of the Redlands area of South Florida to obtain the material used in this book. It is essentially factual and is all that is known of Edward Leedskalnin.
The story is told in the 1st and 3rd person to give the reader an intimate feeling and rapprochement with Leedskalnin’s actual life during the thirty years he spent building his masterpiece.
This book is a must read and until recently it has been almost impossible to find.
I ask that credit is remembered for the Historical Museum of Southern Florida in any copies made of this material.

Hello Jeremy ,
Just wanted to let you know I loved the Book written about Ed by Carrol Lake. I’ve never read that one .. it was very refreshing.
I enjoyed it very much > Thanks
Best Regards , Jon
Hi Jeremy,
Great book. Must have taken ages to do. Read it easily (faced East while reading). Know him now. Glad you’re back – missed the chatter. Need to add threads again (conscientious objector to facebook/twitter/etc.). Cudos on your work so far. Much better @ math than I will ever be. Building it. Zero is East. Don’t let + and – touch. Need to be a pure spirit for it to work (“impossible” part). 16 RPM + love. Be happy. You are not alone.
From the carol lake story, he didnt have a generator till long after the current coral castle was made. not till his experimentation with electricity.
Still a good read, it’s all information. What you do with it is up to you.
When i had gone to the coral castle there was a book in the ‘museum’ that had some info on lifting and moving the blocks based on leverage, anything ever come up with that?
The leaf springs left imprints on the sides of the blocks. He hammered them in (I noticed marks on the outside of the east wall).
The generator was probably a subsequent “generation” of the generator he used in the box at the top of the tripod (my assumption).
I think a “fulcrum and a lever” approach would have taken too long to heft rocks that high in the air overnight. It would have been too noisy too (my assumption).
I don’t think he sang to the stones, as people would have heard him, and he would not have heard them approaching (my assumption).
There was a drain pipe cast nicely into a low point on the 2nd floor that lead down the outside of the east side (contrary to the story).
Don’t take it all literally. It was 3rd party stuff. There are positives and negatives in that story. If you believed everything you heard you’d be led through life, not being your own leader (truly not meaning to be insulting to you “pincushion”…).
I wonder if the frankfurters got him. He was meatless for so long…

“Put your bet on #1 as it comes up every time” (Jethro Tull – Thick As A Brick ~19:04).
Freemasonry along with most things in life (such as food) have been watered down so much that the old ways have been almost lost, but not forever.
If it wasn’t for the Coast-2-Coast show I heard @ 3AM in March 2007 (when I could not sleep that night) and Jeremy’s fabulous code144.com, I would still have my feet firmly planted on the ground and not have a real goal to grab onto.
I love the ending song to the “numbers” video.
Go east young man (or woman).
Jeremy, excellent new Code 144.
Ed was definately broadcasting, otherwise he couldn’t define the ionoshere and how the radio waves interact with it.
Still no mention of Ed’s patent application?
If only I had that.
