100 different stories about the history of our country...some i knew, some that took the story further for me, and some that were completely new to me...i'm intrigued by the selection of stories that the author chose for the book...stories you would expect are not present and stories you didn't know about are presented...at the end of the book there is a listing of story connections so you could read all of the stories on a particular topic and still have a great experience with this book

p.s. it didn't really take me a month to read this book...i read most of it during a couple of lunch hours but i had a couple of stories to finish up which i did tonight :)
