"The Comic History of the United States" by John D. Sherwood is a humorous historical account written in the late 19th century. The book spans from the pre-Columbian era following early humans to events well beyond the author's contemporary time, aiming to provide a comedic lens through which to view the history of America. With a blend of satire and facts, it explores cultural, political, and social development through amusing anecdotes and illustrations. At the start of the book, the author introduces himself and his intentions for writing a history of the United States that is both entertaining and informative. He reflects on his modest beginnings and academic journey, using humor to engage readers while setting the tone for a light-hearted exploration of American history. Sherwood emphasizes the importance of bringing to light the stories and achievements often overlooked in a traditional recounting of history, intending to present facts with a playful, yet respectful, twist to entertain and enlighten his audience.
