Manuel H. Rodriguez family papers
Manuscripts
The core of the Manuel H. Rodriguez papers are his thoughtful and informative reminiscences. There are over 20 narrations of his past experiences. They cover his service in the United States Army to his years as a student at the University of California, Los Angeles. He wrote about the economic effects of the Great Depression in Los Angeles, where an overwhelming amount of men worked as an itinerant salesman to ordinary activities such as playing marbles. Rodriguez wrote, "I have enjoyed reminiscing about those years and the exercise of my memory has had therapeutic effects," Box 9 (16). Many of Rodriguez's reminiscences could be accessed on his son's website: Zòcalo.

"Colonel Judkins had handed Espy a tough assignment - straightening out a Texas ranch where trouble could unexpectedly shoot out from behind the nearest rock or tree. But this was Espy's chance to make good. He could forget all those years of hard drinking after his wife's death and try to regain his little boy's love and respect. Espy was tough, but vicious cow thieves and dishonest ranch hands might be even tougher"--Back cover.

I rode a flying saucer! : the mystery of the flying saucers revealed
Rare Books
"Although some scientists hold that Flying Saucers may be due to natural phenomena and others maintain them to be of Russian or American manufacture, the greater number of scientists and laymen believe them to originate in other worlds than ours; that they are visitors from outer space ... Is the fate of humanity threatened? Do the 'saucer beings' have the answer? Will the destructive evil genius of man find its master in beings from outer space? Red the messages received at Giant Rock and draw your own conclusions ... In the case of Mr. Van Tassel the messages are received while he is in attunement with the vibratory frequency of the communicating intelligence and usually in a state of involuntary physical sensing, therefore being unaware of his audience. In some cases a partial perception of those around him is common. The mechanism of these receptions will be discussed more fully in a forthcoming book by Mr. Van Tassel entitled 'The Council of the Seven Lights.'"--From publisher's note, by Fraklin Thomas.
