Welcome to Litsy!

Coral Castle is the first book to take a journalistic look at one of America's most intriguing places--Coral Castle, located in Homestead, Florida. Working alone with primitive tools, a Latvian immigrant named Edward Leedskalnin quarried, carved, and set in place more than 1,100 tons of coral rock, creating what is commonly known as the American Stonehenge. How he accomplished this amazing feat remains a mystery. Many believe he harnessed anti-gravity powers, which allowed him to lift and move the stones as if by magic. Leedskalnin, who built the castle to woo back the fiancé who had jilted him, said he had mastered the "secret of the Pyramids." In Coral Castle, Rusty McClure and Jack Heffron survey the theories and tell the story, interviewing experts on all sides of the argument and bringing this fascinating tale to a mass audience for the first time.
