Список книг автора Welby Thomas Cox, Jr.IN THE BEGINNING
There is and always has been a great deal of speculation in regards to the origin of the human species, homo sapien. There are those who want you to believe that it was God who created the universe and all in it. In this book, I do not seek to make a definitive statement about my beliefs. As a journalist it is my duty to give all sides and let the reader make his or her own determinations. It is a complex, and yes a most controversial subject. This little book provides several flaming questions…most essentially as we end the year 2020 amide a major pandemic which has nearly brought our world to a screeching halt even as we prepare to send tourist into space in 2021, the overriding question is this; If God created man in his own image who created aliens… if they exist? There is a conflict among the great minds of science, religion and the ordinary citizen. This book does little to settle the question. After all humanity has only been attempting to answer these questions through research and prayer for thousands of years. The goal of this book is not to answer but to probe, to question, to present…even the most extreme positions. Let us open our minds to some eventual answer…the journey will be swift and neither the reader nor this lonely scribe will be here when the truth of the matter has finally been resolved and accepted by all. Certainly, I admit my brain does not function in the area of mathematics and while I love reading and writing about the amazing facts in science…I can only write about it but not conjure any relevant facts on my own. So, with these humble admissions, let us explore together…In The Beginning!
The Other Side of Lincoln
Lech Lenahan came from a warring family…though the last of the clan had long since left Ireland; he inherited the family loss of land, its income and a way of life… taken by Cromwell, England’s bloodiest, most cruel soldier, given to others because they were Protestant.<br /><br />His grand-father and father had taught him the value of freedom from the time he was old enough to know…his choice to fight for it in the great Civil War was a natural reaction, waiting to happen.<br /><br />It mattered not that Leck Lenahan had never seen the Emerald Isle, neither had he seen the flu but he knew well the pain of it.<br /><br />The Other Side of Lincoln, is the heartwarming story of the love and determination of Leck Lenahan…to strike a blow for freedom…though he had no slaves, he knew well the pain of being forced from family, from land handed down from generation, and made to migrate to a country belonging to Native Americans.<br /><br />The Other Side of Lincoln takes you on the soldier’s journey as a member of a crack unit, guarding a presidential candidate to becoming a spy collecting valuable information for the Union Army, including the capture of John Brown at Harper’s Ferry. Follow Lenahan after the war as he is mistakenly sought by the military as a member of Quantrill’s Raiders only to become a lawman and help settle the west, build a railhead town, marry a beautiful widow, and live to an old age to tell stories into the 20th century.
The Day John Fitzgerald Kennedy Past
The Day John Fitzgerald Kennedy Past is a book about the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. The book covers the rush to judgment by President Lyndon Johnson in order to quell a potential storm by the media and others who suspected a government conspiracy. The case against Lee Harvey Oswald seemed to be open and shut but who was the stranger who entered the Texas Book Depository dressed as a police officer? Why was the testimony of several observers of those on the grassy knoll sealed? How could the Warren Commission or any other sane person believe the «pristine bullet,» theory? What was Oswald doing in New Orleans and what was his connection to Cuba? These and other revealing facts now corroborated through the release of millions of pages of historical documents give reason and purpose to the existence of a CIA cover-up.
Yet Untitled
Thad Hamilton was a man whose life was on a treadmill, though he would not accept that he too was one of those mumbodies playing out an existence, leading a life of quiet desperation. Then, it changed, he had an auto accident and crossed over to the other side. Oh, sure… he too had always scorned «the light in the tunnel» as a bunch of bull-shit but there he was on some platform as if waiting for a train. Then a garishly dressed little woman with a monkey on her back and a sign with the name «Hamilton» haunted him, taunted him before reminding him there was no train for those without deeds.
The Miracle of the Images

But For A Penis…
Eleanor of Aquitaine. Eleanor Of Aquitaine (1122-1204) was a major figure in the middle ages and a prominent figure in women’s history. Born the Duchess of Aquitaine, she would eventually become Queen of England and France. The eldest daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitaine. She inherited her father’s lands in 1137, and married Louis VII of France that same year. The marriage was annulled in 1152.

But this wasn’t enough for Henry, since she supported another son whom Henry hated and feared, Henry put her in prison where she stayed for sixteen years. This is the story of a powerful woman, who, “But for a Penis… Would Have Been King! But the story doesn’t end there because we are wanting to juxtapose women of the Middle Ages who made a significant difference in the manner in which they used their sex to get what they wanted. Enter now, Saint Joan of Arc, a virgin teen who followed iconic voices of the Catholic church urging her to lead a French army against the English. Saint Joan of Arc utilized a strident voice which willfully placed her at the head of a French force to defeat the English only to be burned at the stake as a heretic, but still a virgin!
The Little Bighorn
Back in the 19th century, there was an ugly mood among Caucasian leaders to kill any thing red. It was then that Grant said to Custer, «show no mercy, take the troops assigned to your command and pursue the Indian, its squaws and children to the end of life…wipe them from the face of the earth.» Somewhere a voice whispered a special message to Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and other leaders heard it as well and they gathered thousands, creating a storm to meet the charge of the man with yellow hair at Custer's Last Stand! Of all the treaties the United States government has executed around the world, the only ones they have not kept sacred are those executed by and between the Native American, but it is well to note the government did execute them…the Native American that is!
Portrait of Mass Murder
The following is a story, historically documented in a journal recording of my great-great-great-great grandmother Bartheny Lanham, born in County Cork, Ireland and came to America to marry a man named Finney Simpson, a self-taught veterinarian, settling in Western New York. Believe it or not, each time I have read the journal of the dear little Irish grannie, I dream of her as though she and I are seated at the kitchen table having a sip of Irish whiskey while she puffs on her tiny corn cob pipe. This, then is my Grannie B.'s story as the Narrator in her own hand with apologizes for the dialect but have made the translation for the ease of the reader.
Genesis...
It did not matter to Senator Lang Elliott that religious fundamentalist had decided to make his life a daily living hell, but the senator took umbrage when these pious, self-serving folks, took it upon themselves to murder a member of his crew and steal his prized stallion in return for a King’s ransom. The funds he knew to be utilized by this extreme group to develop propaganda to evangelize and offset the liberal media contaminating young minds and Christian soldiers. They would stop at nothing and had murdered once! Welby Thomas Cox, Jr. (Editor)

She was a simple girl! If girls or women are ever simple? She was very shy and withdrawn. She lived in a small cottage with her quirky but highly intelligent inventor father. Her mother had died at a young age…or so she was informed. What began as an innocent requirement by a law firm for a stenographer/typist would have a finality uncommon to most interludes. Would she meet with an ending which would send him to the electric chair or would he prove it to be an accident? Or was this nothing more than a dream fulfilling her own doubts of her self-confidence which often led her to stay late at night on the job to perfect the job for which she was hired but could never complete to her satisfaction. Come with me as we see her caring for an elderly father, brilliant but uncaring about the feelings of his only child, caring only for his work and the unrealistic dreams of accomplishment. Into the mix, a powerful lawyer sees the potential of the patents and covets them through a union with the daughter. Could he use his legal knowledge and his money to fund a corporation bringing the patents to fruition ow will it be more advantageous to witness the old man's demise?
