Anomalistic History

History shapes and informs beliefs and behavior. It is a living thing--a fluid storied account at the mercy of misinterpretation bias and hidden agenda. Many of our most cherished ideals--on religion war economics the birth of our nation--are nothing more than a collection of stories shaped and honed to suit the needs of writers of history long dead. So how do we separate the Fact from the Fiction? In a series of short essays Denman Collins delves into the murky depths of our collective past to decipher events people and places that affect our lives to this day.  Painstakingly researched and thoughtfully written Collins has a simple mission--to expose the folly of accepting history as Truth. -Allison Collins
