Childhood memories and urban myths lead to research into hidden stories, and what's revealed tells much about the politics of history-making.

Full of surprises and plot twists along the way, her adventures are quirky, fun, and informative. Each essay is accompanied by a map and illustrated with photos, news clippings, and memorabilia. Dana Frank is a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
