What "really" happened inside the Trojan horse? Are legs "really" meant to be encased? "What caused Montezuma to have a revenge?" "Did St. Patrick really rid Ireland of snakes?" These are puzzling questions. To this point, absent any evidence to the contrary, we have accepted the written word. Historians have amassed all available data and have documented their findings. These findings, of course, are called History. But, what happens when new information surfaces, which embellishes this data, and in some instances, actually provides irrefutable evidence that historians may have erred? We then are faced with a slight dilemma. Do we change or do we ignore? Such is the subject of this book. The author, through an uncanny number of sources, some obscure findings, some footlocker discoveries, plus other documented evidence, napkin scribblings, cave drawings, even a time capsule discovery, presents testimony for such future debate.

The Table of Contents addresses 52 historical issues, all of which were assumed to this point to be unquestionable in their reporting. Yes! Saint Patrick did rid Ireland of snakes. Yes! Pocahontas was a friend of John Smith. Yes! King John knew what he was signing when the Magna Carta was placed in front of him. Well, the author now casts some doubt, as he questions these 52 reported events, and has provided fodder for the reader to "wonder" if what he or she has been told existed, really did exist.

Through several strokes of genius, a large number of historical events can now be embellished. Records some thought to have been lost, plus others, newly uncovered, are now miraculously available. Whether historians opt to augment published records with these sudden discoveries of course will remain a heavily disputed and contested topic for years to come. That is not the issue here however; in this case the author merely reports his findings. What "really" happened inside that horse? He knows. How did tea "really" get in a bag? He knows. What was Montezuma's "real" revenge? He knows. Yes, he knows, and he reports the answers herein, as well as the answers to fifty other questions, which have puzzled learned people over the years. A simple journey through the book's Table of Contents will spark the attention and the inquisitiveness of every reader, possessing an interest in historical world events. For several years, Bob Patenaude has enjoyed living in a world of fantasy. This particular book augments an earlier entry into creative imagination, entitled Gadgets. Varmints, and Their Manifestation, wherein he represented, as storyteller, the 'things' of life infusing life into non-people, some alive, some dead, and some in-between. Just as those stories had to be told, so also do the topics in this book. Publishing these stories ensures that the reader now knows, now understands and now appreciates the 'full' significance of selected historical phenomena.
