Bill Nye’s Comic History of the Western World: Up to 1900 More or Less (Illustrated)

“Maybe I'm partial to Bill Nye, or maybe I find the lack of political correctness somewhat refreshing. Does that make me a bad person? I hope not!”

“Brilliantly done.”

“Wish my history classes had been more like this.”

“Hilarious bit historical comedy no doubt a literary precursor to Mel Brook's History of the World Part I.”

Here is another 2-IN-1 Book, Bill Nye’s humorous looks at the histories of America and England -- all in one volume. Fully illustrated by funny drawings that reflect Nye’s accurate but chuckle-worth take on Western history. Starting with Isabella’s decision to send Christopher Columbus to discover new worlds to Caesar taking on England’s Druids, Nye sets his long-ago stories in motion.

Bill Nye, more formally known as Edgar Wilson Nye, was the founder of Wyoming’s Laramie Boomerang. He named the paper for his mule, Boomerang. Nye was considered “Wyoming’s most celebrated citizen” and remains one of the state’s most famous historical figures. By the 1890s, thanks to the publication of more than 16 books, two plays and a national tour of stage performances, Nye was the nation’s best-known humorist, and at $30,000 a year, its highest paid.
