Details

In this compelling and utterly fresh look at American history, historian Kyle Ward shows how US textbooks from different eras over the past 200 years have described the same historical events in completely different ways. An adaptation of his acclaimed History in the Making, Not Written in Stone is an abridged and annotated version including many of the greatest "hits" of American history, including Columbus's first voyage and the Salem witch trials to the boston Massacre, experiences of African American soldiers during the Civil War, and the Phillippine American War.
