Founding Myths: Stories That Hide Our Patriotic Past
Much of what you thought you knew about American history is wrong.

This nation was founded not just by the handful of "founding fathers" we have come to admire, but also by the revolutionary activities of innumerable and nameless patriots who are not mentioned in textbooks. Why should only a select few get the credit? The collaborative spirit and effort of the American people is an important concept for children (and adults) to learn.
