Truman, \"is the history you don't know.\" In this fresh and fascinating collection of historical vignettes, Martin W. Sandler (author of \u003ci\u003eResolute\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAtlantic Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e) restores to memory important events, people, and developments that have been lost to time. Though barely known today, these are major historical stories, from\u003ci\u003e Ziryab\u003c\/i\u003e, an eighth-century black slave whose influence on music, cuisine, fashion, and manners still reverberates, to \u003ci\u003eCahokia\u003c\/i\u003e, a 12th century city north of the Rio Grande, which at its zenith contained a population estimated to have been as high as 40,000 (more than any contemporary European city), to the worst peacetime maritime disaster ever, the explosion and sinking of the \u003ci\u003eSultana\u003c\/i\u003e on the Mississippi in 1865.These tales are far from trivia; they illuminate little-known American and foreign achievements, ingenuity, heroics, blunders, and tragedies that changed the course of history and resonate today.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Union Square \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Lost to Time: Unforgettable Stories That History Forgot | Martin W Sandler | Hardcover | 9781402729584 | Used: Very Good | History 1672919","offer_id":50790831980802,"sku":"1672919","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61hCu9MNt6L.jpg?v=1792318421","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/lost-to-time-unforgettable-stories-that-history-forgot","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
