Publisher Summary
 

Kenneth C. Davis presents a collection of extraordinary stories, each detailing an overlooked episode that shaped the nation's destiny and character. Davis' 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 explores 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, which may have spread disease to many Native Americans
  • The long, bloody relationship between the Puritans 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 proves why Davis is truly America's teacher.

    Review by Keely from Concord, NC | 5/9/2011

    as dry as a high school history class... well, mine anyways. Everything in this book was left out of the history books for a reason... irrelevant.

    Review by Karen from Lilburn, GA | 2/23/2011

    I learned so much about America's history that even I didn't know. It's all about Revolutionary War and before so don't expect recent history to be in here. Totally fascinating.

    I listened to the audiobook. It was interesting, but only read/listen to if you're really, really into American history.
