It was also fun to read as he's been living in Philadelphia most of this time, so everytime he mentioned a place I kept thinking, hey I know that place! I got this one at my library as a new release.

Now I've started "Lies my Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen. Not far along enough to form a real opinion, but so far I am enjoying it.
Great little book filled with odds and ends well-known to historians, but not widely known by the general public. Loewen does a great job of historical myth-busting.
