This myth-busting compendium sets the record straight on American history, from famous-but-false legends to weird-but-true stories.

Did pregnant women really seclude themselves indoors? Were uneven stairs made to trip up burglars? Did people only bathe once a year? Death by Petticoat reveals the truth about these and many other funny, surprising, and strange misapprehensions of history.
