I came across the Uncle John series by accident while rummaging through books at a used bookstore and have become a lifelong fan.
This edition covered one of my favorite subjects, history. If you are aware of the series, you know it's full of fun stories, and the way they are provided is half the fun. This is a must-read for trivia and American miscellanea enthusiasts.
As a lover of trivia, you must have at least one Uncle John’s book in your personal library. The wit and charm of the narrative is the biggest reason to buy them, but this one covers the Presidents and is also a great read to learn, have fun and share facts with others. Highly recommended.
