A Colossal Hoax: The Giant from Cardiff that Fooled America

Description

This book relates the story and implications of The Cardiff Giant hoax. This hoax was one of the leading questions of the day, and how citizens answered it said much about Americans in 1869 as well as about America more generally.

"I had almost no knowledge about the Cardiff Giant before coming across this gem. What an amazing and unbelievable story...It's hard to believe so many people were fooled so badly!

While the lives of the perpetrators are given extraordinary depth and detail throughout the book, the depiction of 1869 America is what truly tells the tale. Tribble does an excellent job of placing the hoax within the context of the times, exploring how the state of the nation played a major role in its success.

An extremely enjoyable book, very well written, and highly recommended." - reader's review.

Enjoy this great book! Brought to you by SMIRK
