    Lies My Teacher Told Me 1st Edition by James W Loewen
    virginiapeiffer, July 03, 2020
    THE REASON FOR THE #1 IS BECAUSE HISTORY HID A LOT OF LIES...EXAMPLE...BLACKS WERE SOLD TO TRADERS IN AFRICA BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE...WHY? WHY DID THEY DO THAT? YET NOW THE BLACKS ARE ARGUING THEY ARE ""NOT FREE LIKE WHITES, NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE? THIS COUNTRY IS CALLED ""UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"", SO WHY DID'NT HISTORY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR SLAVES IN THEIR FAMILY LINES?? NOW THE UNITED HAS NO REASON TO BE IN OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE BOTH SIDES CAN'T GET ALONG AND HISTORY NEEDS TO BE REDONE AND THE TRUTH BE PUT IN PLACE..YOUR BOOK SHOULD HAVE THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIES ABOUT HISTORY...

    Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser
    virginiapeiffer, September 03, 2018
    I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH ADMIRATION FOR LAURA INGALLS WILDER. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER BOOKS, WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE MY MEMORIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WHAT I WAS TOLD BY MY GRAND PARENTS AND THEIR PARENTS.. LIVING AND GROWING UP IN OKLAHOMA AS MY GRAND PARENTS WAS SO HARD BUT SOMETHING I CAN REMEMBER UP AND UNTIL MY END. I THINK LAURA WILDER HAD PARENTS WHO CARED BUT GAVE THEIR CHILDREN EVERYTHING THEY COULD GIVE THEM.. FOR ANYONE WHOSE INTEREST IS HISTORY THIS GIVES EVERYONE SOME IDEA OF HOW OUR MATERNAL GRAND PARENTS GREW UP IN THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WE CALL OUR OWN.. I LOVE LITTLE HOUSE AND BEING OLD I LOVE READING WHEN I CAN AFFORD TO GET A NEW BOOK, BUT IT HAS TO BE LIKE LAURA INGALLS WILDER.

    The Best Land Under Heaven: The Donner Party in the Age of Manifest Destiny by Michael Wallis
    virginiapeiffer, July 25, 2017
    A FEW YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW MY ANCESTRY UPON THE DEATH OF MY PARENTS. I GOT THE STRONG URGE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM BOTH. MY FATHER'S SIDE CAME TO THE ""DONNER PARTY"" EVERYDAY I SEARCH FOR MORE TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE SO MUCH IN NEED TO GO WEST. TO NOT KNOW WHAT LAY AHEAD WOULD EXCITE ANYONE BUT NOT THIS FAR. EVERY BOOK LIKE THIS ONE IS ANOTHER STEP IN KNOWING WHO I CAME FROM THEIR UPS AND DOWNS. I FIND THIS BOOK OF WHAT I HAVE READ HERE IS ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR ME. I WILL ALWAYS. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM. THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE READ TO KNOW HOW THIS GROUP ATTEMPED TO GO WEST LIKE EVERYONE NEW TO THIS COUNTRY. BACK THEN. THANK YOU I WOULD CHERISH CLOSELY TO HAVE THIS BOOK. I WOULD LEARN MORE.

    Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
    virginiapeiffer, July 21, 2017
    DURING THIS TIME PERIOD THE COUNTRY ALWAYS THOUGHT OF LINCOLN'S HEARTFELT FEELINGS FOR HIS SON WHO PASSED AWAY. HERE A MAN HONEST AND YET KEPT. STRONG DURING A THIS COUNTRY'S SEVERE SEPARATION. YET STAYED STRONG FOR THE PEOPLE. THIS BOOK IS HISTORY IN A RARE VIEW. BUT. DRAWS THE READER INTO CONTINUING TO LEARN MORE. THIS IS THE KIND OF BOOK DRAWS MY ATTENTION TO THE END. I DO WANT TO SAY THIS. I COULD UNDERSTAND HIS STRONG AFFECTION FOR THE SON WHO PASSED AND WHY HE WOULD WANT TO CONTINUE TO HOLD AND PASS HIS LOVE ONTO HIM AS ANYONE HONEST PARENT WOULDYET STAY STRONG FOR OTHERS AROUND THEM

    America Before the European Invasions by Alice Beck Kehoe
    virginiapeiffer, September 10, 2011
    To Alice Kehoe, I'am writting to ask you questions I have. Please I am in no way trying to offend you but I feel you feel as I do of what I have been doing for months. I do have have only appreciation of someone who can write the full truth of my heritage the great American Indian Tribes. Their legal ownership of this country. YES Iam very much an American and want people to hear and see the honest ownership. We have suffered through the years, centuries, and still our rights to be as the whites say"human beings". We were not savages but created by whites to be "savages". When the whites began dying of hunger,we fed them, yes the area they took we ALLOWED them to live on. They in turned brought more here to steal the land. What has this illegal aliens given us....dirty hospitals,no land, made us drunks, and killed our forefathers so they can steal the rest. I want the children to know the truth and learn it everyday intheir schools. To know how their forefather's stole everything for them. If the whites are not afraid to teach their children this History, then why is it not in their History books.Why do they not know the whole truth that God would want them to know? I feel what I have from hidden History will and must come out. I do feel your book has what these kids need to read and much much more.
