Richard Shenkman returns to debunk even more popular but inaccurate beliefs about the United States in the best-selling sequel to Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History. Readers will learn that flag-waving is a relatively recent phenomenon, women have always worked both in and outside the house, and that the Pilgrims spent their first winter in the New World complaining about the lack of beer. Provocative and amusingly heretical, I Love Paul Revere, Whether He Rode or Not (a quote attributed to Warren Harding) offers eye-opening revelations that debunk long-held American legends. Richard Shenkman is the New York Times best-selling author of five history books, including Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History and I Love Paul Revere. Educated at Vassar and Harvard, he is an Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and the former managing editor of the news department at the CBS-TV affiliate in Seattle. He has been the host, writer, and producer of a prime-time series on the Learning Channel and a regular contributor to the NBC Sunday Today show. “There is a lot to enjoy in this entertaining little book.” — New York Times Book Review
