Format:Paperback
An entertaining enough collection of weird facts and anecdotes about American history--each one with an original source citation to boot, which is great. Except that a lot of it's anecdotal, and a lot of the sources are OTHER collections of trivia rather than anything primary. But it's all richer and smarter than I would have expected, which is why my browsing through it turned into a full reading.--J.Ruch
Format:Paperback
For anyone who has the "basics" down about American History, this book in an invaluable source for little known incidents starting from the first voyages to the New World all the way to the Ford presidency. Its these little known incidences which give the reader a feel for the times in which they occurred. Interesting and well-researched.
Format:Paperback
