Stranger Than Fiction: War of 1812: With Parody Lyrics - Paperback

You've never learned history like this! War facts you couldn't make up, woven with rhythm and melody, make the War of 1812 hard to forget. Did you know... -Spying was easy? Enemy plans could be read in the newspaper. -The new Paul Revere was a woman? She warned the British that the Americans were coming. -U.S. troops looted and burned York? The U.S. attacked the Upper Canada capital before the British sacked Washington. -A tornado ravaged the British in the U.S. capital? The storm killed more British than the Americans did. -The St. Lawrence River was a smugglers' highway? Residents on either side were trading partners with no interest in fighting. -New England nearly seceded? Several states almost preceded the South in leaving the Union. -How slow news travelled? The Battle of New Orleans was fought after the peace treaty was signed. PARODIES: O Grab Me!
