What Really Happened?

The most famous moments in American history are not always what they seem. Readers are offered a myth-busting look at historical events. Each book examines a defining moment in American history and explains the kernels of truth behind common misunderstandings of the event. Readers will learn how legends become part of the popular imagination and how primary sources are used to put together a more accurate picture of what really happened. This is a wonderful resource for inquisitive students and will help readers strengthen their history and social studies vocabularies.
