Who really discovered America? What was "the shot heard 'round the world"?
Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: Did he or didn't he?
From the arrival of Columbus through the bizarre election of 2000 and beyond,
Davis carries readers on a rollicking ride through more than 500 years of
American history. In this updated edition of the classic anti-textbook, he
debunks, recounts, and serves up the real story behind the myths and fallacies
of American history.
