Richard Shenkman "Legends, Lies, and Cherished Myths of American History"
William Morrow & Co 1988 0688065805 / 9780688065805 Hardcover Very Good
"'() The truth and nothing but the truth--Richard Shenkman sheds light on America's most believed legends: * The story of Columbus discovered that the world was round was invented by Washington Irving. * The pilgrims never lived in log cabins. * In Concord, Massachusetts, a third of all babies born in the twenty years before the Revolution were conceived out of wedlock. * Washington may have never told a lie, but he loved to drink and dance, and he fell in love with his best friend's wife. * Independence wasn't declared on July 4 (and the Liberty Bell was so little regarded that Philadelphia tried to sell it for scrap metal but nobody wanted it). * After World War II, the U.S. Government concluded that Japan would have surrendered within months, even if we had not bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.''''
