With Raphael's trademark wit and flair, Founding Myths exposed the errors and inventions in America's most cherished tales, from Paul Revere's famous ride to Patrick Henry's \"Liberty or Death\" speech. For the thousands who have been captivated by Raphael's eye-opening accounts, history has never been the same.In this revised tenth-anniversary edition, Raphael revisits the original myths and further explores their evolution over time, uncovering new stories and peeling back new layers of misinformation. This new edition also examines the highly politicized debates over America's past, as well as how our approach to history in school reinforces rather than corrects historical mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book that \"explores the truth behind the stories of the making of our nation\" (National Public Radio), this revised edition of \u003cem\u003eFounding Myths\u003c\/em\u003e will be a welcome resource for anyone seeking to separate historical fact from fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Raphael\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159558949X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595589491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014","brand":"Ray Raphael","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048005169407,"sku":"9781595589491","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a0d9877-19e4-490b-a05d-5b4190f07137.jpg?v=1684993362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/founding-myths-ray-raphael-9781595589491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
