"History in Davis's hands is loud, coarse, painful, funny, irreverent-and memorable."
- San Francisco ChronicleFollowing on his New York Times bestsellers America's Hidden History and Don't Know Much About History, Ken Davis explores the next chapter in the country's hidden history: the gritty first half of the 19th century, among the most tumultuous in the nation's short life.

- Forgotten Uprisings: Uncover the stories of courageous slave rebellions, including the bloody mutiny on the Creole, and the violent anti-immigrant 'Bible Riots' that shattered the peace in Philadelphia.
- Manifest Destiny: Follow the epic journey of John C. Frémont and his wife, Jessie, whose ambition and exploration were instrumental in the conquest of California and the fulfillment of America's coast-to-coast dream.
