What Really Happened?

The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow made Paul Revere's ride famous, but his poem perpetuated misunderstandings about this historical event that persist even today. Readers take a closer look at this and other historical moments in American history, sorting the truth from the tall tales and inaccuracies. Each book tells the fascinating truth and explains how first-hand accounts and other primary sources teach us about what really happened. A great resource for book reports and building social studies vocabulary.
