TC Tidbit: 10 Books That Built Our Nation

From our friends at flavorwire.com

They got their list from Stuff Every American Should Know.

More about the book:

This pocket-sized companion is filled with stuff every American should know.

Who played the first game of baseball? What’s a bicameral congress? Where did Mount Rushmore come from? Who is Geronimo and who do we yell his name when we jump?

Stuff Every American Should Know answers these questions plus great information on the Declaration of Independence, fireworks, the first Thanksgiving, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” assassination attempts on U.S. presidents, buffalo nickels, the Statue of Liberty, how to bake the perfect apple pie, and much, much more.
