Reiersgord's _The Kensington Rune Stone--Its Place In History_

I just today got this book from ILL. I've just scanned it quickly, but I'm already intrigued by a couple of things. Well, concerned is more like it.

For one thing, Reiersgord appears to think that the Midiwiwin (Medicine Lodge)(Ojibwa/Anishnabe) is somehow related to the Masons, and perhaps was brought by some Europeans (not sure who he says yet) before Columbus.

He also goes into a lot of detail about the 'red with blood and dead' meaning a quick-acting form of Bubonic plague. Which we have discussed before. I'll be interested in seeing what he says.
