Comic History of the United States

Description

For those looking to dive deep into United State’s history, but without having to read through thousands of pages of boring text books, the Comic History of the United States could quite possibly be a much more enjoyable, humorous and engaging alternative.

Although it was written well before the dawn of the 20th century, the book is one of the few well-written publications that paint a picture of US history in a somewhat modern and fun way, as opposed to its more professional and serious counterparts. Nye uses his wit and humor in a way typically associated with later literature works that are still able to engage the reader and make him laugh.

Throughout the book, you will be taken on a long journey spanning adventures from the first European settlements in the new world, reaching toward the end of the American Civil War.

With Nye’s sarcastic and often funny statements portraying each event in a droll manner, but without straying from the factual reality of what truly happened in the most important moments of America’s old and recent history, you are sure to enjoy the book every step of the way, both chuckling at the entertaining embellishment the author adds to the stories, and admiring the accuracy and precise outline of various historic events as they truly happened.

The unique take on history used by Nye was considered quite “cutting edge” after the work’s initial publication, and it continued to captivate the public ever since. History buffs and regular readers alike have enjoyed the book’s witty comments, colorful, yet precise historical depictions and remarkably well-chosen style since it was first published, and many still do today.

Whether you want to learn about early discoveries and rare historic information, or just enjoy a pleasant, well-written, humorous read, Bill Nye’s Comic History of the United States is well worth a closer look.
