Book Reviews of Presidential Trivia
Book Review: Stumps even the greatest presidential experts
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite subjects has long been the presidents of the United States. I enjoy reading books on them and picked up many facts along the way. In high school, I participated in President's Bowl (a presidential trivia challenge) and won. My friends knew me as the guy who was hopelessly obsessed with presidential trivia. While visiting Florida I found this book and picked it up.
Turns out my knowledge of presidential facts wasn't as good as I had thought. This volume is full of information that surprised me and everyone around me. I learned a ton from this book and was able to stump those who knew more about American history than I did including some history teachers! I read this whenever I have the chance not only to keep sharp on my knowledge, but also to pick up more information.
This is a must-have for anyone who likes the presidents or American history in general. You won't be disappointed and you'll definitely learn a lot about the past rulers of the country!
Summary of Presidential Trivia
This fun and educational book contains more than 1,000 questions and answers about the facts, figures, and foibles of the forty-two presidents and their first ladies.In which two years did three different individuals serve as president of the United States? As a young law student, which president broke into the dean's office at Duke University Law School? Who became president of the United States without having been elected president or vice president? Who was nicknamed "Old Man Eloquent"? From the arcane to the textbook, these 1,200 trivia questions are sure to entertain and educate. Broken into four sections--Life Before the Presidency, Executing the Office, Presidential Households, and Presidential Miscellanea--there are a few stumpers on each page, along with amazing, curious facts and figures. In all, Presidential Trivia is a feast for trivia buffs. (By the way: 1841 & 1881; Richard Nixon; Gerald Ford; and John Quincy Adams.)
