May 2000. Cincinnati. Myself, a single Israeli in a class of American quality assurance professionals, all studying to become certified GMP Trainers. It was there I realized that I actually know more about American history than many educated Americans. They should have read this book.Written as a series of in-class conversations and out-of class adventures of Miss Jones and her pupils, this book covers American history from as far back as who actually discovered America, to many other interesting pieces of information, i.e. the fact that Sit Walter Raleigh never came to America and was borne well after tobacco was already known in Europe, or what was Billy the Kid's real name.The way this book is written is perfect for young readers. It turns history back into what it was always meant to be - an interesting story. And if you don't mind that the characters are kids - it can be perfect for anyone interested in Americana.
