Library Journal

October 1, 1999
A Confederate war memorial in Helena, MT? America's most toppled monument? These are only a couple of the things Loewen discovers during his travels around this highly monumented country. This book takes an often amusing look at the strange and sometimes sinister motivation behind the creation of many of America's historic sites. Good questions to ask when seeing something as simple as a roadside plaque or as complex as Mark Twain's home town are "Who made this?," "When?," and especially "Why?" The answers often reveal attempts to misinform or push certain cultural or political agendas. As the title implies, Loewen (Lies My Teacher Told Me, The Truth About Columbus) views official history with a certain skepticism that can be entertaining. Recommended for public libraries.--Joseph Toschik, Half Moon Bay P.L., CA
