This very uncommon and rare book includes catchy airs with lyrics about the Boston Tea Party, the Declaration of Independence, Christopher Columbus, the Civil War, and other people and events related to American history. It is the experience of every child, that nonsense rhymes and Mother Goose jingles remain in the memory, whereas historical dates fly away as soon as the book is closed. The idea suggested itself, of wedding Father History with Mother Goose, and thus keeping Nonsense and Facts in one family.
