    Secrets? Myths? One giant boxed set? The award-winning History Smashers series delivers a four-audiobook collection that takes 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!
    Kate Messner is a New York Times bestselling author of more than seventy books for curious readers. Her titles include award-winning picture books like Over and Under the Coral Reef and Axolotl-Ella, graphic novels like Camp Monster, the popular Ranger in Time and Wildlife Rescue chapter books, and novels like The Trouble with Heroes and All the Answers. Kate lives on Lake Champlain with her family and has climbed all forty-six of the Adirondack High Peaks. View titles by Kate Messner
