Books by Thomas Ayres

History classes reduce Americas story into a dry litany of dates, names, and places. Thats Not in My American History Book tackles the messy details, reclaims disregarded heroes, and sets the record straight. This book explains why July 4th isnt really Independence Day, reveals 19th century mudslinging that labels Andrew Jackson a murderer, and even unveils the only vice president with a number-one pop hit. With insight, wit, and irreverence, Ayres uncovers our overlooked past.
