About this audiobook
History is full of missing pieces, fragments, and half-truths... The tale of our beloved Thanksgiving is no exception.
We know the story of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags that taught them how to harvest the land. We celebrate Thanksgiving each year to commemorate their friendly interaction through feasts of our own.
But the stories we know of the happy gathering in 1621 aren’t all that they seem.
Amongst the feasting and budding relationships were genocide, disease, and atrocities too great to include around the dinner table.
Legacies worthy of being told are shared. The violence following the giddy union is brought to light. The genocide of the native peoples of America is uncovered. The True Story of Thanksgiving, Smallpox, and Native Genocide amplifies the voices muffled by historians to reveal the true history of the holiday.
Join William Blatch in his first book in the History as We Never Knew It series and learn how to
- look at history with a critical eye.
- unravel the false truths of well-known stories and tales.
- examine the bigger picture behind retellings of history.
- see the full truth in all its depth and color.
History is written by the winners... but not in its entirety. Read now to see all sides of the story and determine for yourself what truths should be told!
