Condition: Fair - covers have some creases/marks- binding solid - first 10 pages have a small stain at the bottom - no torn or missing pages.
""It All Started With Columbus", being an unexpurgated, unabridged, and unlikely history of the United States from Christopher Columbus to the present for those who, having perused a volume of history in school, swore they would never read another."
"Richard Willard Armour (July 15, 1906–February 28, 1989) was an American poet and author. Armour also wrote satirical books, such as Twisted Tales from Shakespeare, and his ersatz history of the United States, It All Started With Columbus. These books were typically filled with puns and plays on words, and gave the impression of someone who had not quite been paying attention in class, thus also getting basic facts not quite right, to humorous effect."
