Join us to welcome Ohio author David Fiers t as he talks about his debut book\, Hidden Disgrace! \;Read more about Hidden Disgrace below!
\n\n"Through meticulous res earch\, \;Hidden Disgrace \;pierces through the veil of d escriptions of Indians as either savages or "Noble Savages" and describes them as real people with both strengths and weaknesses. Likewise\, it take s a hard look at the notion the conquest of North and South America by Eur opeans was "inevitable" and was\, in reality\, the result of deliberate ch oices.
\nBooks that dive beneath the superficial explanations of Wes tward Expansion are often criticized as being "revisionist history." Such claims ignore the obvious explanation that aspects of history cannot be "r evised" if they were never reported properly in the recording of history.< /p>\n
Among other historically documented myths\, \;Hidden Disgrace& nbsp\;explains why the casting of the Wounded Knee Massacre as the result of an attempt to suppress an uprising fueled by the "Ghost Dance" is paten tly absurd. Important facts surrounding that dark episode in United States history are often ignored\, miscast\, or misrepresented altogether.
\nWith this work\, the author seeks to shed light on the true course of h istory."
