Explore the secrets of America's past with the official companion
to PBS's History Detectives
Could a Civil War POW have fashioned a working camera from a tin
can, a spyglass lens, and a pine plank? What can an ancient and
battered banjo reveal about America's musical and segregated past?
How could a man save his own life by proving that he had forged a
painting? These are just a few of the intriguing and puzzling
questions posed to super sleuths Wes Cowan, Elyse Luray, Gwendolyn
Wright, and Tukufu Zuberi in this fascinating book.
The perfect companion to the hit public television series,
including an episode guide, this book is filled with intriguing

patent and property searches to DNA analysis and more, it gives you
the lowdown on all of the high-tech tools that can help get to the
bottom of a case. Packed with fun and useful information for the
whole family, it will deepen your appreciation for the way in which
seemingly ordinary objects can connect you to important people and

detecting of your own.
