Secrets? Myths? One giant boxed set? The award-winning History Smashers series delivers a four-book collectible set taking down some of the biggest misconceptions, secrets, and outright lies of early American history!

In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered America. Right? WRONG!

Okay, but in 1620, the Pilgrims did land on Plymouth Rock and made friends with the Wampanoag people. Right? DEFINITELY NOT. 

What about on April 18, 1775 when Paul Revere rode through Massachusetts shouting, "The British are coming!" to start the American Revolution. That happened, right? NOPE!

Does that mean that before the Civil War, abolitionists didn't actually use quilts and signal lanterns to guide enslaved people along the Underground Railroad? NOW YOU'RE GETTING IT!

Smash the stories and learn the TRUTH behind the historical moments of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS & THE TAINO PEOPLE, THE MAYFLOWER, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD! Award-winning author Kate Messner delivers the hit series in a keepsake boxed set!
