Product Description:

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.

- good book

- Cute, Overblown, Light, With Erroneous Sweeping Statements
This is the first book I've read by author Kenneth Davis and it will be my last. He has chosen six stories, but meanders far off the point in telling them and runs fast and loose with his facts and sweeping statements. This is a cute book for 8th graders, but does not add to the literature of colonial days or the beginning of our country.

The first story is really about the Spanish Catholics exterminating the French Protestant presence in South Carolina to the last man, woman ... Read More

America's Hidden History: Untold Tales of the First Pilgrims, Fighting Women, and Forgotten Founders Who Shaped a Nation

This is a very interesting book and sure opens up a lot of what really went on in our early history. Not all was as well as we were told in school, or what the history books we had told us.

Rating:

- No Myths Allowed
All nations and religions have basic myths. They don't need to be true. They are meant to teach values and unite people. What myths would this author have at the foundation of the United States? It seems to me that a myth of Thanksgiving, unity, and cooperation with people of different cultures is about as good as a foundation myth gets. But his Op-Ed in the New York Times clearly calls us all fools for celebrating our national myth of Thanksgiving rather than celebrating French pilgrims who were ... Read More
