America's Bloody Beginnings

Many history books gloss over some details about the foundational events of the United States. The unpleasant, sometimes gruesome facts are left out. But they're just as much a part of the story as any dates or other information. This significant series aims to fill in the gaps, giving budding historians a more complete account of several seminal points in colonial and national history, including the Boston Massacre, the Battle of Antietam, the Salem witch trials, and the Trail of Tears. Readers will appreciate the more accurate, yet sensitive accounts told through well-researched text, including the sometimes far-reaching consequences of historical events.
