The Slackers Guide to U.S. History - Stewart Don
- The Bare Minimum on Discovering America, the Boston Tea Party, the California Gold Rush, and Lots of Other Stuff D
In less time than it takes to recite the preamble to the Constitution, most Americans can spout off all their U.S. history knowledge. (Hint: it starts with "In 1492" and ends with "sailed the ocean blue.") That's because most history books are as interesting as the phone book-and have the same number of pages. The average Joe (the guy who TiVo'd John Adams on HBO but won't make Colonial Williamsburg his next vacation spot) needs a witty and edgy history book-and he has it, with with this guide. Hysterical authors-and self-described slackers-Don Stewart and John Pfeifer give readers the bare minimum on important events such as:
- The Civil War (the war that pitted brother vs. brother-about the bruthas)
- The expedition of Lewis and Clark (the ultimate road trip)
- The Boston Tea Party (not much of a party unless that tea was from Long Island)
- The assassination of JFK (one vacation that ended particularly badly)
