The Book of Trivia and Facts

Af: Terri Schlichenmeyer Engelsk Hardback
Entertaining, informative, and fun. Educational, trivial, and profound. Astonishing, amazing, and surprising. That’s history! Take a weird and wonderful tour of American history with this treat of stories, trivia, and facts!

From Juan Ponce de León to John Wayne to Jane Doe to the little-known stories hidden inside bigger historical events, The Book of Facts and Trivia: American History combines the educational, profound, and trivial into a rich account of American history facts (and the interesting role Johns—and Juans and Janes—played along the way)! You’ll learn about the United States through hundreds of absorbing stories and interesting tidbits such as …

  • Our sixth president, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), had a pet alligator while in the White House.
  • Graceland, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is America''s second-most visited home. The first is Thomas Jefferson''s Monticello.
  • In 1970, Continental Airlines made it a policy that every disembarking male passenger got a kiss on the cheek from a stewardess.
  • Twenty to twenty-five percent of cowboys in the mid-1800s were black.
  • The first public service announcement meant to encourage Americans not to litter appeared in 1956.
  • Washington is the most common city/town/village name in America, followed by Springfield and Franklin.
  • Actor Jack Black’s mother was a satellite engineer and author who worked on the Hubble Telescope.
  • Most of the Continental Congress officially signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776 (not July 4!).
  • The Food Marketing Institute estimates that some two million shopping carts are stolen each year.
  • Kansas City, Missouri, leads the nation in the number of fountains inside its city limits.
  • The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall with a waist that''s 35 feet across.
  • And many more American history facts!

    An absorbing guide to history, The Book of Facts and Trivia is a treat of stories, facts, and trivia guaranteed to both inform and entertain. It’s a feast of fun oddities that are delightfully eye-opening!
