Marge Rieder, Ph.D., has worked in the field of experimental hypnosis for over twenty years. She has lectured throughout southern California on Past-Life Regression and conducted classes on Visual Imagery and Self-Hypnosis.

After attending Santa Ana College, she received advanced degrees from Newport University in Hypnosis and Behavior Modification. She is a graduate of the Professional Hypnosis Center in Tustin, California, is registered with the Hypnotists Examining Council, a member of the American Guild of Hypnotherapists, the American Board of Hypnotherapy, and the Association for Past Life Research and Therapies. She has published a number of articles in magazines and professional journals.

Not one, but more than thirty-five people have been identified - most of them from around Lake Elsinore, California - who, under hypnosis, can recall in graphic detail, life in the same little town in Virginia during the American Civil War! Using the information gained during the hypnnotherapy sessions, Dr. Rieder enthralls us by showing the secret tunnels and hideaways she uncovered while on her expeditions to Millboro. She skillfully reconstructs the suspenseful stories of love, tragedy and espionage from these tumultlious times that echo through the past and impact the present.

The story has been presented on television with Oprah, Larry King Live, Rolanda and several others.
