Summary:
"This book is an offbeat field guide for sites in North America that reflect the rejection of the facts of prehistory and history. Though fake, the forty sites Feder highlights are fascinating and fun places to visit. Feder provides an entertaining summary of those forty sites along with the practical information you'll need to visit them."--Provided by publisher.
