The bosoms are for a somewhat older crowd. . . .
Some medieval myths, such as King Arthur, probably have some roots in
real events. We just don't know for sure what those are.
But my point is, we _do_ have American historical myths and they have a
powerful effect on Americans. This may not be the body of myth that
most affects you emotionally, but it definitely exists, and it's
definitely only partly in accordance with historical fact.

Oh, yeah, I've had those, but it's not all fairies and magic dust,
bizarre speech patterns, and bosoms. And some of those myths can at
least be found to have roots in real events (although, apparently, not
the 'Betsy Ross made the flag' one, last I heard.)
