This book takes a wild, rapid voyage down the Route 66 of American language and popular culture, veering away from the highways and byways of middle America.
Bryson exposes many of the myths surrounding America, debunking popular belief about the country. He explains how a small, dusty town in the desert without any holly or woods became home to Hollywood, why the Wild West was not conquered, the origins of the words "lootenant" and "Toosday," how Americans were consuming junk food long before the term was coined, and the real story behind the G-string, the $64,000 question, and Dr. Kellogg of cornflakes fame.
