As best-selling author Kenneth C. Davis knows, history can be fun, fascinating, and memorable. When his don't know much about® history was published in 1990, it was a sensation. The book delivered a fresh take on history with its wit and unusual detail. Davis now does for young people what his earlier book did for adults. In his trademark question-and-answer style -- peppered with surprising facts, historic reproductions, and Matt Faulkner's lively illustrations -- Davis introduces our ancestors who settled the East and expanded the West, as well as those who had been living here all along. His sure touch brings the drama and excitement of the American story vividly to life.

- Great tool for all ages!!This book is a great concise recap of American history. Despite the age level for the book, I believe this is a great review for those of us who's brains find it hard to retain all those details about our country's history. Good for kids and adults, as well. Thanks, Kenneth Davis.

- Good for a brief overview of American HistoryThis appealed greatly to my wife who never studied much of American History. I found it interesting as well, but was less enthusiastic since the material was very familiar to me. Still, it is presented in a unique and captivating format. It is good for both kids and adults.
