It All Started with Columbus

Master of Humour, Richard Armour makes you laugh uncontrollably while reading all his books even sitting alone in a room. I have read 'It started with Columbus' and reread it several times and each time makes you laugh without fail. He is just incredible, with use of language, pun, wit although he is very sincere and true with the facts of history; only twisted for viewing the funny side of the subject.

BEING AN UNEXPURGATED, UNABRIDGED, AND UNLIKELY HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES FROM CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS TO JOHN F. KENNEDY FOR THOSE WHO, HAVING PERUSED A VOLUME OF HISTORY IN SCHOOL, SWORE THEY WOULD NEVER READ ANOTHER.

The author wishes to thank Christopher Columbus, Captain John Smith, George Washington, and the many others who made this book possible. He is also grateful to the Red Skins, the Red Coats, the Red Badge of Courage, and the inventor of gun powder, without whom the history of our country would have been sadly lacking in bloodshed and would have made dull reading. Nota bene: The author will appreciate assistance in eliminating, in future editions, any accurate dates or undistorted facts that may have insinuated themselves despite the most painstaking research and proofreading.
