Обкладинка Ray Raphael: Founding Myths (ePUB)

With wit and flair, Founding Myths exposes the errors and inventions in thirteen of Americas most cherished tales, from Paul Reveres famous ride to Patrick Henrys Liberty or Death speech. Exploring the dynamic intersection between history-making and story-making, award-winning author and historian Ray Raphael shows how these fictionsconceived in the narrowly nationalistic politics of the nineteenth centuryundermine our democratic ideals.
