First published ten years ago, award-winning historian Ray
Raphael's "Founding Myths" has since established itself as a
landmark of historical myth-busting. With the author's trademark
wit and flair, "Founding Myths" exposes the errors and inventions
in America's most cherished tales, from Paul Revere's famous ride
to Patrick Henry's "Liberty or Death" speech. For the seventy
thousand readers who have been captivated by Raphael's eye-opening
accounts, history has never been the same.
In this revised tenth-anniversary edition, Raphael revisits the
original myths and explores their further evolution over the past
decade, uncovering new stories and peeling back additional layers
of misinformation. This new edition also examines the highly
politicized debates over America's past, as well as how school
textbooks and popular histories often reinforce rather than correct
historical mistakes.
A book that "explores the truth behind the stories of the making of
our nation" (National Public Radio), this revised edition of
"Founding Myths" will be a welcome resource for anyone seeking to
separate historical fact from fiction.
