American History Detective
 The American History Riddle Book
So, you think you know your American history? Michael Koerner has devised over 100 fiendishly clever riddles about American history, culture, and people — with a few literary types and fictional characters thrown in just for fun.
These riddles are challenging — after all, they’re riddles, and not meant to be solved in an instant. You might get a few right off, but we promise that many of these will leave you scratching your head. You might have to go to the internet, encyclopedia, or your old high school history textbook for clues to the answer. Or, you can just look at the answer key in the back of this book, which not only identifies the person, place or event, but includes complete historical/literary background information for each.
