"The art of narrative history is experiencing a long-overdue revival thanks to the work of such new historians as Cormac O'Brien. Here is a man who knows his way around a library,andknows how to tell a good story. And by focusing his attention on the colonial period, an era especially rich in remarkable stories that few people have ever heard before, O'Brien introduces us to extraordinary men and women and landmark events that shaped the American character and the future of the nation." -Thomas J.

Craughwell, author of Failures of the Presidentsand Stealing Lincoln's, "Set against a grand landscape that inspires both awe and terror, The Forgotten History of America depicts a continent emerging as both a bloody battleground between Native Americans and Europeans and a place where alien cultures began to mesh. This is the history they left out of the textbooks--thanks to Cormac O'Brien, the forgotten history of America will be forgotten no more." -- Joseph Cummins , author of The World's Bloodiest History and The War Chronicles: From Flintlocks to Machine Guns , "The art of narrative history is experiencing a long-overdue revival thanks to the work of such new historians as Cormac O'Brien.
