This is an entertaining book, and it will teach you a few things, but like nearly all such lists it grows a bit tedious. ( )

This book is full of tidbits about people, places, and events in American History. As a history major, I recognized most of the the 1001 items discussed, but there were a few of which I had never heard. For instance, I had never heard of many of the women pioneers that were listed. I think that the reason for this is that women's studies in the past have been overlooked in many history textbooks. Also, there was the Argonne-Meuse Campaign of World War I, of which I had never studied. Again, World War I is often somewhat neglected in our history books. Working in a bookstore, as I do, I know how few books are written on the subject of World War I. While the Civil War might have a whole bookcase devoted to it, and World War II might have two whole bookcases, there might only be two shelves dedicated to the subject of World War I. The Korean War is another area that is often neglected.

This book was written in 1989, and does a fairly good job of covering events in American History up to that time. If anything was neglected in this book, I might have to say it was the Civil Rights Movement. I just didn't see a lot on that subject. However, I felt that this was a very informative and interesting book. Each fact was short enough to catch your attention and make you want to go research the subjects that you didn't know about. ( )

Remember History 101? More important, do you remember what you learned in History 101? Well, fear not, 1,001 Things Everyone Should Know About American History is history the way we wished it had been taught--in a clever, concise format: provocative, memorable entries accompanied by over 400 photographs.
