Myths! Lies! Secrets! Uncover the hidden truth about Christopher
Columbus, and learn all about the Taino people. Perfect for fans of
the I Survived books and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales. In 1492,
Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered
America. Right? WRONG! Columbus never actually set foot in what is
now the United States. His voyages took him to islands in the
Caribbean and along the coast of South America. The truth is, when
Columbus first arrived, Indigenous peoples, including the Taino,
had been living there for thousands of years, raising their
families, running their societies, and trading with their
neighbors. He didn't "discover" the lands at all! And his name? Not
even really Christopher Columbus! Cowritten by bestselling author
Kate Messner and our country's premier Taino scholar, this
fascinating addition to the series is the one that teachers have
been asking for and that kids need to read. Discover the nonfiction
series that demolishes everything you thought you knew about
history. Don't miss History Smashers: The Mayflower, Women's Right
to Vote, and Pearl Harbor.
