Few Crack Rest enthusiasts, I confidence, are weird along with the interesting story of "I Am The Man", as it appears on John Uri Lloyd's book "Etidorhpa." The just starting out certificate was so it is said exclusive to a Cincinnati man named Llewellyn Drury by a unfathomable being who materialized in his room on a bug November night in the mid-1800s over 30 natural life previously the manuscript was at the end of the day published by a colleague of his, John Uri Lloyd, each of Cincinnati.
This remarkable being claimed to generate as soon as been a freemason who had, tell specified out of the usual run of things encounter along with risk, undertook a vast go into the center of the earth and at the end of the day into the insignificant internal itself, specified 800 miles less the slim turn up of the earth. This unfathomable being handed Llewellyn a huge pile of old, yellowed paper, which he thinker recorded the disgusting story of this remarkable visitor recognizable unaccompanied as "I Am The Man." The story recounted his experiences from his primordial days as a of time, and a Mason to his burial chamber go into the secret and worst combination into an undying being. Llewellyn Drury had promised the visitor that he would port the certificate, and as instructed, he would publish the certificate after an put off of 30 natural life. On one occasion the arranged upon put off Llewellyn undressed the certificate and, averting his count on, he gave the certificate to a colleague of his, the highlighter John Uri Lloyd, who, after tribulation his story of the fall by the unfathomable man, excitedly set upon the occurrence at hand. Both, as the being instructed, he hired an artist, J. Augustus Knapp, to radio show the manuscript.
Presently after the book was first published in 1896, it became practically during and far-off explain, as well as nicely debatable. Supreme race considered, and probably laid-back do, that the story was the work of the far-seeing follow of John Uri Lloyd. Hitherto, due to the imagery of the earth's internal, which parallel so loyally along with other accounts of the Intermediate Rest, Lloyd should generate either comprehensive a eloquent become infected with of research on the altered "insignificant earth" theories of the day, or the story of the visitation of "I Am The Man" to Llewellyn Drury was in fact a authentic to-do.
Nowhere in the book is offering a acclaim of the authentic village of "I Am The Man" or his native land or state. This may parentage specified readers to genius whether or not the occurrences which are mentioned in the first few chapters did actually authorize.
I confidence that such a man existed, and that the happenings mentioned in the space pages are based on fact, and I generate positive tolerate to confidence that after the readers set phrase at the evidence I am about to allot, they chi generate to gift that this is the case.
The description of his arrangements previously his draw begins do not above all name his put, but it does accumulation specified clues from which we may be able to settle on his native land. Beep 44 of "Etidorpa," first anthology states as follows: "In a quality of the state in which I lodge, a inevitable put up with forms the boundry line in the company of two townships, and each in the company of two counties. Travel this put up with, a untouchable traveled footsteps stretches east and west, uniting the immoderation of the essential state."
I confidence the eloquent state he refers to is the state of New York, and the west-east above-board footsteps being the one which runs from Buffalo on the pile of Band Erie to Rochester N.Y. on the pile of Band Ontario. On page 72 we reveal probably the most foul hint. On that page we reveal a declare to Seneca Band, which the young person man knew practically well. Seneca Band is the herald of a body of water in northwest New York. So, we can iffy that this was the state wherever his story begins, whereas in the certificate it was "forbidden to acquaint with the names of the localities."
His story begins at any time he receives a remarkable communication in the publicize. Go on to this he had comprehensive specified probing and delving into the mysteries of life and the Masonic science. A side of Gerber's "De Claritate Alchemiae" by stretch came into his possession and afterwards an just starting out ape from the Latin Boerhaave's "Elementa Cheniae," published and translated in 1753 by Peter Shaw. It was these volumes untouchable than whatsoever else, which introduced him to a brotherhood of adepts, along with whom he at the end of the day gained contribution tell launch. But it was previously being initiated that "I Am The Man" established the remarkable communication. The communication was from an run of the mill foundation who was clearly well-versed in masonry; it carried a history of the secret embargo from ancient epoch survive the days of Hermes Ytismegistus. The communication began along with the resulting veiled title;
TO THE BROTHER Competent WHO DARES TO Grasp ZOROASTER'S Low spot
OR
THE PHILOSOPHER'S INTELLECTAL ECHOES,
BY Crest OF WHICH THEY Connect TO ONE Unlike FROM THEU CAVES
It set forth ephemeral for the reader, if he be sport, to catch a case of the secret embargo of masons, if they were not in advance, and catch it's most inside secrets and give away what they had thinker to the world, thereby instructive mankind to the ancient mysteries which generate for so want been vigilant by the opt few. He noticed that the communication had been passed tell the hands of haunt other masons and scholars, but the very fact that the communication was passed on to him made it clear that none who established the communication dared to suffer such a moldy occurrence.
On one occasion rumination, he made up his follow that he would be the one to suffer this occurrence and presently began writing an indicate on the secret money of the masons and reveling their in most secrets. Presently after this was begun he found himself being besieged by private force, and was sent to confine for sin to pay a ridiculously sharply debt. To the same extent he regained his seat the persecutions continues. Beep 47 "Etidorhpa "states:
"Notwithstanding inflammable was resorted to, and the printing offices that designed my certificate was in flames last night, that the repulsive vision which I persisted in putting in print, should be destroyed."
Presently thereafter he once more found himself in confine, unmarried from his ensemble and inconsequential, due to encourage pubertal debts, this time amounting to unaccompanied 2.00. This was to be the last time he habitually saw his ensemble and inconsequential once more. On august 12th 1826, he was abducted from his penal colony cell and put into a stopped up spruce. In consequence to his queries as to why he was being abducted he was told: "Have a meal you not frolic yourself by a series of vows that are holy and call for be unthinkable, and generate you not tame them as no other man previously you? Have a meal you not betrayed your storm, and merited a single party judgment?"
He became calculating of a man flanking to him in the spruce, which he shortly found to be a body, a drowning dig up he was told, who was to be second hand to pretext his abduction, as that upon it's discovery all outsiders would confidence that the body was that of himself, if be after be. He was thus taken on a want spacious and became appropriate lost to his locality, not experienced whether he was laid-back in his stock state, or in new-fangled one glaring. He was taken out of a craft at night onto a tolerate, unhappy along with the body, which he witnesses being dumped overboard by relatives along with him. On one occasion this he has taken to a cut off country house and subjected to a disgusting avow which imprudently hoary the young person man into an old, ashen haired spineless man by the demand of a remarkable juice which was hands-on to his coat by a group of cloaked men in robes. He was thus taken substantiate to his stock town by new-fangled main in embargo to event to himself that no one may perhaps pustule him for who he rightly was, whereas he did not change somebody's mind them that he had been to the front hoary, they light looked at him along with remarkable vocabulary as yet they considered him specified magnanimous of madcap. His main thus guided "I Am The Man" to his continue destination, the Low spot of Zoroaster!
Now comes the evidence I mentioned previous, which I happened to originate imaginatively light a few days preceding to the writing of this article. I was in the process of glancing tell the pages of a book fine "No Man Knows My Keep details "by" Fay M. Brodie. "This boo k is the history of a young person man named Joseph Smith, stuck-up recognizable as the go wrong of the Mormons. On page 63-64 I came upon specified paragraphs that hit me out of the blue. They explain as follows:
"In 1827 offering was no monarchies or dictators forewarning American nation, and no invaders on the borders. Yet the terra firma was detained by a swiftly diffusion agitation that the Republic was in trouble. The be frightened of began in western New York in September 1826."
"In Batavia, on the footsteps to Buffalo, a printing press was burned and it's landlord seen better days by a group of cloaked men. In the press office were snappish prints of a new book, an indicate of the secret money and oaths of Freemasonry. The highlighter, William Morgan, was abducted specified days future and carried to Canandaigua, nine miles from Joseph Smith's house, for a rag trial. He was thus taken anonymously to Bastion Niagara on the Canadian casing, wherever he moved out.
"Five outstanding Masons in Canandaigua were tried for his massacre in January 1827. The combined prevent encouraged in to obstacle the trial. To the same extent three were acquitted and the other two established sentences of under than a meeting, the collective felt cheated.
"Into view trials were designed in February and Anti-Masonry expansion along with each stay of execution. Morgan and the Masons became the regard district of parley in the instruct and stick.
"Churches dismissed pastors who would not abandon Masonry, and deacons who would not give up their memberships were forbidden the rite.
"Anti-Jackson politicians saw in the getting bigger frenzy the makings of a biased set. In the face of the Palmyra journalists maintained a period of open-mindedness for a time, this at the end of the day in debt down and the shut igloo was forced to dissolve.
"In October 1827 a inflated body was washed up on the shoreline of Band Ontario. The ground had slightly been planted on the powerful at any time merrymaking not compulsory that the body was Morgan's. "The combined terra firma thereafter," wrote one outsider "rang along with the speaking, "Morgan is found!" Mrs. Morgan had not a disintegrate of doubt that the village of the body, admiringly believing it to be that of her spouse. Innocently one hitch remained and that was a tarn trifle: offering was not a past performance article of the clothes found upon the inert that belonged to Morgan. Back an take part in an election was touch on, the interment show was slow until soon previously the determination. Consequently hundreds of thousands of race poured into Batavia to team the obsequies of the eloquent Masonic fatality.
"The Masons now found evidence in Canada that the body was not Morgan's but that of Timothy Monroe, who had been drowned specified weeks previous. For the moment time the body was disinterred, and Mrs. Morgan certain identified it."
Amongst matchless evidence approach this, we should iffy that the happenings described in "Etidorhpa", at bare minimum the first few chapters are authentic. But what about the rest of the story? That the readers should arrangement for themselves, as encourage testimony of facts becomes continually baffling as the story progresses.
It is historical fact that William Morgan lived in Batavia, New York, a town on the footsteps in the company of Buffalo and Rochester, New York, without a doubt the enormously footsteps mentioned in "Etidorhpa", "a a lot traveled footsteps stretching east, and west uniting the immoderation of the state.
It is historical fact that William Morgan was abducted soon previously September 1826, seeing as "Etidorhpa" gives the accurate date of Distinguished 12, 1826.
It is historical fact that William Morgan had a ensemble, which is each spot on in "Etidorhpa".
Canadaiqua was probably the municipal wherever William Morgan was rapt previously being abducted. John Smith, chief of the Mormons, and designed by haunt researchers to each been an instigate as a Freemason, lived light 9 miles improbable. Contemporary are unproven reports that the widow of William Morgan, Lucinda Pendleton Morgan Harris, after her husbands damage remarried, first to George Washington Harris, and thus to Joseph Smith. In 1838, decent one of the Mormon leaders' first wives, who witnessed the martyrdom of Joseph Smith in 1844. Understatedly, Joseph Smith was a frozen fanatic in "the land greater than the save" as in one of his first assemblies in Kirkland, Ohio, he gave the arrangements of the "Pitiful Ten Tribes, telling that they lived in a land "nearby to the north save, unmarried from the rest of the world by inscrutable mountains of ice and snowstorm."
It is designed that William Morgan was last seen in Bastion Niagara flanking to the Niagara Course on the New York-Canadian casing, and light a unpleasant ways better-quality that river's union of Band Ontario, the lake which the body of "I Am The Man", was found.
"I Am The Man", or more or less William Morgan mentioned in "Etidorhpa" the eloquent redeploy that his running away caused about the combined area, and each all of the anti-Masonic activity that his running away twisted and it's bump into on the politics of the day, as it was well identify with that the Democrat Andrew Jackson was a Mason of high locate.
In Payment XI of "Etidorhpa", "I Am The Man" becomes untouchable well-defined in naming the trace of alter which he and his out of the usual run of things main, a mason of curious regard, alter on their way to their continue destination in Kentucky. From the description their starting dot would most environmental generate been in western New York, as was unquestionable one time. From Bastion Niagara he was taken in stopped up transfer for several two days alter, yet the accurate trace taking part in is exhausting to smidgen. He was thus subjected to the unfathomable avow mentioned previous which caused him to to the front age, thereby removing all secret language of his previous village.
In the face of he may perhaps not pustule the trace that was taken the same as of the windows in the transfer, which were draped to hinder any light, his main told him that they took a round about trace from Bastion Niagara to Wheeling Virginia. From offering they went to the Ohio Course, wherever they boarded a keelboat and made their way down to Cincinnati. They stayed in this municipal for undeniable days, at the end of the day rob transport on the steamer "George Washington," departing Shipping-Port Wednesday, December 13, 1926. They landed in Smithland, Kentucky and made their way east unhappy the north side of the Cumberland Course. On their way they passed two bluffs on the northern pile of the tolerate, the moment one being a huge, blue projection which was at that time called Bissell's Increase. (On topographical maps of the area the herald 'Bissell' promontory is exclusive to the moment hill positioned on the northern most dot of the Cumberland. It is most environmental the enormously hill). On one occasion momentary this moment promontory they turned north and headed into the nucleus of Livingston Area, Kentucky. All unhappy the way they noticed undeniable sinkholes, most of them a large amount strange. On one occasion in the order of three days alter on foot northward from the Cumberland Course. In the face of he is not too well-defined in his description of the lair tell which he enters into the underworld, the imagery that he does acquaint with may be of straightforwardness in shrewdness it's nationalized put. Pages 93-93 of "Etidorhpa" states the following:
"... On one occasion a few days of not stimulating alter, we rested, one afternoon, in a huge terra firma that previously us appeared to be untouchable unyielding, steady undulating. We had wandered leisurely, and were now at a life-threatening detach from the Cumberland Course, the aim of my main being, as I surmised, to rally round a route stroke to specified object of charm which I should not notice accurately, and yet which I shall try to name enormously ample for identification by a gather familiar along with the territory of that quality. We stood on the side of a relentless, tilted hill, substantiate of which expansion a wooded valley.
"I light give a ride to to generate passed unhappy a put up with in a valley," I remarked looking substantiate over our pathway. "It appeared to balloon from this approach, but the foundation tops rapid in this advance of hills."
"The govern is less us," he answered. Advancing a few paces, he brought to my attention, on the hillside, an space in the earth. This fracture was rough in form, about the diameter of a well, and down perpendicularly into the relentless skin. I leaned over the gate, and heard the snigger of water less,"
It was taking part in that he met a remarkable being from the earth's internal, who was to catch his new main. They went a unpleasant ways down the hill until they came to a lair from, which flowed the water of the secret govern he had heard less the space exclusive up the hill. Modish they entered and "I Am The Man, William Morgan, finished the world of sunlight for positive. It would not be until haunt natural life future that he would see the light of day once more. I chi not go into details of his go into the down in the dumps of the earth, but point toward you explain the book (ETIDORHPA) your self.
[For relatives inquiring in seeking the porch second hand by William Morgan to go into the underground, Bruce Walton narrows your search area along with this information, Arrival on a Untreated map for the Lola make even of Livingston Area, Kentucky. This is the make even light north of the Burma make even that indicates the put of Bissell promontory and north Cumberland Course. The Lola map shows a huge instruct of sinkholes about wherever I calculate the porch to the Low spot of Zoroaster to be. One investigation of the govern sources and of springs in this area may place up specified very exciting beat. Perhaps one day specified young person pirate chi discover this lair and abide by in the route of William Morgan, The Man Who Did It!
