"1001 Things Everyone Should Know about American HIstory" is a quick, breezy reference work that covers such diverse topics as famous families, famous and significant Americans, key military events, important legislation, and notable sppeches. At roughly 200 pages, this book contains a wide range of American history that will be especially valuable to high school and college students. Even if you're a regular reader of American history, you'll find this book is a quick and easy-to use source for answers to to recurring questions about the American saga. It's much easier to consult this book's summary of great American speeches than spend hours as the library looking for the comparisons and contrasts between Lincoln's "House Divided" speech and his "Gettysburg Address." The book also contains an abundance of contemporary sketches and photographs. Highly recommended.

Well, I had this book way back when it was first published and lost it.

I had thought it was out of print but, as usual, Amazon came through.

This is an amazing book. I would venture to say that anyone who has any question about American History would find this a valuable resource.

I would recommend this book to those who want to brush up on American History. I would also recommend it to those who find the little facts of history fascinating.
