A companion book to The History Channel® special

series of ten one-hour documentaries

10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America pinpoints pivotal

days that transformed our nation. For the series and the book, The

History Channel challenged a panel of leading historians, including

author Steven M. Gillon, to come up with some less well-known but

historically significant events that triggered change in America.

Together, the days they chose tell a story about the great

democratic ideals upon which our country was built.

You won’t find July 4, 1776, for instance, or the attack on Fort

Sumter that ignited the Civil War, or the day Neil Armstrong set

foot on the moon. But January 25, 1787, is here. On that day, the

ragtag men of Shays’ Rebellion attacked the federal arsenal in

Springfield, Massachusetts, and set the new nation on the path to a

strong central government. January 24, 1848, is also on the list.

That’s when a carpenter named John Marshall spotted a few

glittering flakes of gold in a California riverbed. The discovery

profoundly altered the American dream. Here, too, is the day that

noted pacifist Albert Einstein unwittingly advocated the creation

of the Manhattan Project, thus setting in motion a terrible chain

of events.

Re-creating each event with vivid immediacy, accessibility, and

historical accuracy, 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed

America comes together as a history of our country, from the

first colonists’ contact with Native Americans to the 1960s. It is

a snapshot of our country as we were, are, and will be.
