Description:

The one thing we Americans have in common is our history. It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-generation or twelfth-generation American. You own our history. That’s what makes you an American. That’s the glue that holds us together as a people. Only 21 percent of Americans know that the presidential faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln are carved on Mount Rushmore. On the other hand, more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon Simpson family. Richard Lederer has created American History for Everyone to help make the knowledge of our nation’s history at least match the nation’s knowledge of The Simpsons. American History for Everyone will make the American adventure live for you. You’ll think more about the diverse people who have gone before us and worked so hard to bequeath us a united, spirited, and enchanting country, blessed with the gifts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Duration - 4h 30m. Author - Richard Lederer. Narrator - David Bryant. Published Date - Wednesday, 15 January 2025.
