Here you will find out:

  • Which US president survived an assassination attempt - and didn’t even pause his speech?
  • What holiday’s origin story was actually just a tall tale to unite a country at war?

  • How did an earthquake lead to the Trail of Tears?
  • What first lady gossip shook up an entire presidential cabinet?

Overstuffed like the Thanksgiving turkey with answers to these questions and more facts - sometimes fun, sometimes serious, but always as true as we can confirm among America’s fables - The Great Book of American Trivia takes on the real drama behind the quaint stories we found as students in US history books.
