Most people don�t know that:
Benjamin Franklin almost killed himself trying to electrocute a turkey.
The Wright brothers were not the first to fly an airplane.
There was a fourteenth state that the original thirteen wouldn�t let join the Union.
Benedict Arnold helped save the American Revolution.
All this and more is revealed in That�s Not in My American History Book.
For generations, history classes have reduced the rich, often surprising, facts of the American story into a dry litany of dates, names, and places. Now, That�s Not in My American History Book fills in the gaps, supplying the messy details, reclaiming the overlooked heroes, and correcting the facts you thought you knew.
That�s Not in My American History Book collects an illuminating treasury of stories edited out of your textbooks. It explains why the Fourth f July isn�t really our Independence Day. It dispels the myth of Paul Revere�s midnight ride. It reveals nineteenth-century political mudslinging that labeled Andrew Jackson a murderer and his wife a �convicted adulteress.� It even unveils the only vice president ever to compose a number-one pop hit.
With insight, irreverence, and no small amount of wit, That�s Not in My American History Book uncovers our unknown past. |
