The award-winning History Smashers series delivers a four-audiobook collection that takes down some of the biggest misconceptions, secrets, and outright lies of early American history! In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered America. Right? WRONG! Okay, but in 1620, the Pilgrims did land on Plymouth Rock and made friends with the Wampanoag people. Right? DEFINITELY NOT. What about on April 18, 1775 when Paul Revere rode through Massachusetts shouting, 'The British are coming!' to start the American Revolution. That happened, right? NOPE! Does that mean that before the Civil War, abolitionists didn't actually use quilts and signal lanterns to guide enslaved people along the Underground Railroad? NOW YOU'RE GETTING IT! Smash the stories and learn the TRUTH behind the historical moments of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS & THE TAINO PEOPLE, THE MAYFLOWER, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD!"

Red Cloud: A Lakota Story of War and Surrender
"I WAS BORN A LAKOTA AND I HAVE LIVED AS A LAKOTA AND I SHALL DIE A LAKOTA.—RED CLOUD Red Cloud (1822–1909) was a great warrior and chief of the Lakota. Told from his perspective, Red Cloud: A Lakota Story of War and Surrender describes the events that brought him to prominence as a leader of his people and how he came to surrender them to the white man, ending their way of life on the Great Plains. From the intrusion of white settlers into Lakota territory, to the treaties signed with the U.S. government, and to the many subsequent battles, Red Cloud explains how the Lakota became the only nation to win a war against the U.S. Army on American soil. However, unlike fellow warriors Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, Red Cloud eventually came to accept the inevitable advance of white civilization. He submitted to change and moved his followers onto a reservation. The story concludes with Red Cloud’s trip to the East Coast, where he visited New York City and met President Ulysses S. Grant. Author S. D. Nelson reinterprets the nineteenth-century Lakota ledger-art style to give authenticity to the story as he brings to light one of the most controversial members of the Lakota tribe, Red Cloud."

"With lyrical verse and powerful emotion, Dawn Quigley (Ojibwe) tells the story of urban Native kids who find strength in connection with those who came before and in the hope that lets them take flight. Ariel and Tomah have lived in the city’s intertribal housing complex all their lives. But for both of them, this Dagwaagin (Autumn) season is different than any before. From his bench outside the front door of his building, Tomah watches his community move around him. He is better at making people laugh than he is at schoolwork, but often it feels like his neighbor Ariel is the only one who really sees him, even in her sadness. Ariel has always danced ballet because of her Auntie Bineshiinh and loves the way dance makes her feet hover above the ground like a bird. But ever since Auntie went missing, Ariel’s dancing doesn’t feel like flying. As the seasons change and the cold of winter gives way to spring’s promise, Ariel and Tomah begin to change too as they learn to share the rhythms and stories they carry within themselves. This first middle grade novel by Dawn Quigley is a tour de force. She is known for her American Indian Youth Literature Award–winning Jo Jo Makoons chapter book series and young adult novel Apple in the Middle. Give Red Bird Danced to readers who love Jasmine Warga and Christine Day! Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook."

One Real American: The Life of Ely S. Parker, Seneca Sachem and Civil War General
"When North and South met in 1865 at Appomattox Court House to end the Civil War, the official terms of surrender weren’t written in the hand of Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, or any white soldier. Instead, this momentous event was recorded by General Ely S. Parker, a member of the Seneca (Iroquois) tribe. At that time, Parker was not only the highest-ranking Native American in the Union Army but also the Grand Sachem, or chief representative, of the Haudenosaunee—the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. Though little known today, Ely S. Parker (1828–1895) achieved great success in many roles: diplomat, general, engineer, law student, and chief. From negotiating to retain reservation lands to acting as President Grant’s Commissioner of Indian Affairs—the first Native American to hold that post—Parker worked alongside both tribal and federal governments. Though criticized by some of his people for his rise in white society, Parker advocated for Native Americans across the country in the face of discrimination at every step—seen by some as a traitor, but to others a hero. This expertly researched, masterfully written biography offers a unique and historical perspective. From award-winning children’s book author and Native American scholar Joseph Bruchac comes the fascinating story of a man who walked in two very different worlds, forever caught between them."

History Smashers: Christopher Columbus and the Taino People
"Myths! Lies! Historic boat trips? Beloved author and educator Kate Messner sets sail to discover the hidden truth about Christopher Columbus, and learn all about the Taino people. In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered America. Right? WRONG! Columbus never actually set foot in what is now the United States. His voyages took him to islands in the Caribbean and along the coast of South America. The truth is, when Columbus first arrived, Indigenous peoples, including the Taino, had been living there for thousands of years, raising their families, running their societies, and trading with their neighbors. He didn't "discover" the lands at all! And his name? Not even really Christopher Columbus! Cowritten by bestselling author Kate Messner and our country's premier Taino scholar, this fascinating addition to the series is the one that teachers have been asking for and that kids need to read. Ready to bust new myths? Check out more titles in the History Smashers series: The Mayflower • The Titanic • The American Revolution • Women's Right to Vote"

Deadly Aim: The Civil War Story of Michigan's Anishinaabe Sharpshooters
"More than 20,000 American Indians served in the Civil War, yet their stories have often been left out of the history books. In Deadly Aim, Sally M. Walker explores the extraordinary lives of Michigan’s Anishinaabe sharpshooters. These brave soldiers served with honor and heroism in the line of duty, despite enduring broken treaties, loss of tribal lands, and racism. Filled with fascinating and gripping firsthand accounts from the frontlines, this book teaches listeners about Company K, the elite band of sharpshooters, and Daniel Mwakewenah, the chief who killed more than thirty-two rebels in a single battle despite being gravely wounded. Walker celebrates the lives of the soldiers whose stories have been left in the margins of history for too long with extensive research and consultation with the Repatriation Department for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, the Eyaawing Museum and Cultural Center, and the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinaabe Culture and Lifeways."
