Synopsis

Fun, fast, and engaging for readers of all ages — American history trivia and little-known fun facts you can dip into anywhere, whether you’re a history buff, a student, or just looking for a good story to share.

A police officer pulled over the President of the United States for speeding. The President told him to write the ticket.

That story is one of 199 true-ish tales in this book of US history oddities — the strange presidential history, forgotten wars, weird inventions, and disasters that almost never make it into the classroom textbook.

• Andrew Jackson’s parrot had to be removed from his funeral for swearing.
• Play-Doh started as a wallpaper cleaner.
• The Battle of New Orleans was fought after the war was already over.
• Presidents, American wars, inventions, disasters, laws, and quirky fun facts — short stories you can open anywhere (perfect bathroom-reader or gift book material).

The President Who Got a Speeding Ticket: True Stories They Never Taught You collects 199 stories across twelve chapters of American history humor and trivia: the sharp, oddly human details left out of school. Most are grounded in the historical record; a few sit in that gray zone where the legend got bigger than the footnote.

If you love presidential trivia, strange history, little-known US facts, or a lively nonfiction read the whole family can enjoy, this is your next book.
