"What we have here is one of the most important little known events in American history. " At least according to the extraordinary Mr. E. In October, 1781, Americans are celebrating a stunning upset. Kicking serious British buttock at the siege of Yorktown, George Washington and his bedraggled crew are now practically guaranteed victory in their War for Independence. But wait Mad King George isn't through monkeying around with those colonial ingrates. England has unleashed a weapon of mass destruction upon the continent Mike Dirtmess recounts one of his crazy teacher's "lessons," during which Mr. E describes King Kong's attempt to change the course of the Revolutionary War. Readers are treated to an eye-opening, fun fact filled history of freedom's birth, carried along by the loopy monkeyshines of Mr. E's singular classroom. Action, adventure, mystery, romance, goofy hoots and mind blowing truths take this carnival of characters on a wild, world-view expanding ride to the end of 1781 and beyond.
