Kenneth C. Davis, author of the phenomenal "New York Times"
bestseller "Don't Know Much About History," presents a collection
of extraordinary stories, each detailing an overlooked episode that
shaped the nation's destiny and character. Davis's dramatic
narratives set the record straight, busting myths and bringing to
light little-known but fascinating facts from a time when the
nation's fate hung in the balance.
Spanning a period from the Spanish arrival in America to George
Washington's inauguration in 1789, "America's Hidden History"
details these episodes, among others: The story of the first real
Pilgrims in America, who were wine-making French Huguenots, not
dour English Separatists The coming-of-age story of Queen Isabella,
who suggested that Columbus pack the moving mess hall of pigs that
may have spread disease to many Native Americans The long, bloody
relationship between the Pilgrims and Indians that runs counter to
the idyllic scene of the Thanksgiving feast The little-known story
of George Washington as a headstrong young soldier who committed a
war crime, signed a confession, and started a war!
Full of color, intrigue, and human interest, "America's Hidden
History" is an iconoclastic look at America's past, connecting some
of the dots between history and today's headlines, proving why
Davis is truly America's Teacher.
