BOLITA SAM

Lake City's Author and Florida Native born in 1951.

Joe Bullard's most recent book signing. Described as a journalist, a researcher, an investigator, Joe Bullard says he is revealing new facts about "the Ruby McCollum story" in Bolita Sam.

Stories about McCollum have been spread throughout North Florida: How she murdered her lover in 1952. She had documented the names of prominent politicians and police involved in "the illegal Bolita Racket" and how once she was institutionalized $100,000 went missing.

Bullard will be speaking Wednesday on North Florida Today about last night's turnout and the town's reaction so far to his findings.

Bullard was featured on Coast to Coast with George Noory four times for his first book, Waiting for Agnes, which sold out on Amazon.com. He said he can tell "the Ruby McCollum story" now because most of the people are dead.

BOLITA SAM

This is a very controversial book and is very sought after.
And is hard to find. Till now.

Waiting For Agnes

Waiting for Agnes, which sold out on Amazon.com. Bullard, who was born in Lake City, said an original hardback copy of Waiting for Agnes sold for $900.

Coral Castle sits on Key West Highway in Homestead Florida. Coral Castle is one of the most amazing structures ever built. In terms of accomplishment, it's been compared to Stonehenge, ancient Greek temples, and even the great pyramids of Egypt.

It is amazing -- some even say miraculous -- because it was quarried, fashioned, transported, and constructed by one man: Edward Leedskalnin, a 5-ft. tall, 100-lb. Latvian immigrant." It was built by a Latvian immigrant named Ed Leedskalnin. Claiming he fashioned his tools from Mr. Kilgore's junkyard Ed cut and moved over 1100 tons of massive, jagged coral stone. When asked how he did this, Ed said, "I know the secret of the Great Pyramid.
This book is about why Ed left his home in Latvia moved to Florida, and built Coral Castle at the edge of the Everglades. It also explores theory of how Ed might've cut and moved stones weighing more than those of the Great Pyramid. The true secret of this lost science can never be known, it went into the grave with Ed when he died in 1951.
There are lots of photo's in this book and the book is signed by the author.

Joe Bullard - Author of "Waiting For Agnes"

Joe Bullard followed by an interview with Joe on "Coast to Coast" radio..

Description provided with the radio interview:
"Investigative journalist Joe Bullard returned to discuss the mysteries surrounding Florida's Coral Castle and its creator Ed Leedskalnin. The Castle and its gardens feature thousands of tons of coral rock that Leedskalnin, a frail man who weighed just 100 pounds, carved into artistic yet functional objects such as tables and chairs, a sundial and a huge perfectly balanced gate. While he made and moved these objects in secret, he claimed he used the same technology that the Egyptians built the pyramids with.

Leedskalnin said he built Coral Castle for his lost love Agnes who jilted him back in Latvia, but Bullard suggested that this tale might have been a cleverly disguised cover story for hiding his secret knowledge and scientific achievements. When Leedskalnin was in a hospital in 1951, shortly before his death, thieves stole some of his tools. Bullard believes this might have been a planned confiscation.

Leedskalnin left a message over his bedroom at the site: THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE IS 7129/6105195. One caller said that was the number from Leedskalnin's federal application for citizenship; another caller related the number to the "golden ratio." Bullard's book Waiting for Agnes, a fictionalized account of the Coral Castle story, incorporates the lore of Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle into the plot.
