In 1860, a strange carved stone emerged from an ancient earthwork near Newark, Ohio. Its markings appeared to contain Hebrew. Months later, an even more remarkable object was uncovered, a stone bearing a version of the Ten Commandments and an image identified as Moses. The discoveries became known as the Newark Holy Stones. For more than a century, the artifacts have fueled arguments about ancient visitors to North America, archaeological fraud, and the man most often blamed for creating them: David Wyrick. But was Wyrick ever actually proven to be the forger? Historical investigator Katrina Roberts is determined to separate the evidence from the story everyone learned to repeat. Following nineteenth-century newspaper reports, letters, excavation accounts, linguistic clues, museum records, later hoaxes, collectors, stoneworkers, and long-buried archival trails, Katrina discovers that proving the stones are false is much easier than proving who made them. Every answer creates another question. Every accusation has to survive the record. And sometimes history refuses to provide the convenient villain people expect. Based on the real controversy surrounding the Newark Holy Stones and Ohio's remarkable ancient earthworks, The Newark Holy Stones continues the History Not Forgotten series with a mystery where the most important discovery may not be a name, but knowing exactly where the evidence stops.
