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 passionately curious and writes books that encourage kids to wonder, too. Her titles include award-winning picture books, like Over and Under the Snow; novels, like Breakout and Chirp; the Fergus and Zeke easy reader series and the popular Ranger in Time chapter books; and works of nonfiction with a focus on nature and history. She lives on Lake Champlain with her family. View titles by Kate Messner
