Description: The truth and nothing but the truth Richard Shenkman sheds light on America's most believed legends. The story of Columbus discovering the world was round was invented by Washington Irving. The pilgrims never lived in log cabins. In Concord Massachusetts a third of all babies born in the twenty years before the Revolution were conceived out of wedlock. Washington may have never told a lie but he loved to drink and dance and he fell in love with his best friend's wife. Independence wasn't declared on July 4th. There's no evidence that anyone died in a frontier shootout at high noon. After World War II the U. S. government concluded that Japan would have surrendered within months even if we had not bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
