bade the good chief and his family come forth and replenish the land...

   The Great Spirit was appeased, but the signs of his wrath are a warning to his children of his great power. Some of the rocks he left bare, as a constant reminder of what the land might again become if his children should disobey him."

#21 --- On pages 160-161 of the August, 1946 issue of AMAZING STORIES, Vincent H. Gaddis, in his article "The Shaver Mystery" also makes the following statements concerning Dr. M. Doreal:

   "Doreal writes: ‘There never was but one book written that told anything about the blue race and it was written by a man for a group of his private students and I have one of his letters in which he said: "I will allow it to be published because people will look upon it as a fairy story.” That story was allegory but he told about the blue race and he tells of a man on the outer earth who entered the mysteries. I have a copy of this very rare book. The book referred to is Etidorhpa ("Aphrodite" spelled backwards), or The End of Earth -- The account of a Remarkable Journey, by John Uri Lloyd, published by the Robert Clarke Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1895 (a revised edition of this book is available from Amherst Press, Amherst, Wisconsin, 54406). The entrance is given as being near Biswell's Hill, Livingston County, Kentucky, not far from Smithland, but on the opposite side of the Cumberland River from town. The author of the book, now deceased, was a famous Cincinnati scientist. Cincinnati is my old home town. I never met Lloyd, but knew about him. I have a friend, a Cincinnati book dealer, who knew him well.
