Event Details

Only 21% of Americans know which presidents are on Mount Rushmore, but more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon Simpson family. Richard Lederer has written American History for Everyone to help make the knowledge of our nation's history at least match Americans' knowledge of the Simpsons. In his presentation, Dr. Lederer will share some of the most informative and entertaining stories from his book.

Dr. Lederer is the language columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune and the author of over 60 books on language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series.

This event is free to attend thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Branch Library.
