Best-selling author Davis looks at "forgotten" chapters of early American history, from the arrival of the Spanish to Washington's inauguration, with a particular interest in the human stories in the histories. Parts are presented in chronological order, with each chapter including a timeline of events covered in the forthcoming section. The writing is casual and narrative, bringing the history into easy reach of the general public.
