Ultimate Republican Trivia Book Released by Marshall Rand Publishing
by Scott Paul Frush
More than fifty-five million Americans proudly call themselves Republicans.
However, many individuals support political parties without fully understanding
the history behind them. Author and historian Scott Paul Frush wants to shed
light on one of the parties that has made a difference in this country by
examining its rich history in the book, Ultimate Republican Trivia: 1001 Fun and
Fascinating Facts (Marshall Rand Publishing).
The book reveals trivia facts that are sure to entertain, educate, and
surprise. Republican accomplishments are highlighted, some of which include
abolishing slavery, creating the interstate highway system, granting citizenship
to Native Americans, creation of FDIC insurance (think of your bank savings
account and CD), establishing Thanksgiving Day, and creating the world’s first
national park, Yellowstone.
‘My singular aim is to showcase the best of the Republican Party from
pioneering politicians to groundbreaking accomplishments,’ says author Scott
Paul Frush. What many readers may find quite shocking is that nowhere in the
book will you find the word Democrat. ‘I wanted to take the higher ground and
highlight what the Republican Party is all about without attacking or demeaning
another political party. It’s the essence of how Americans wish politicians
would act themselves.’
Trivia facts cover many diverse topics, such as origins and organizations,
achievements and firsts, presidents and first ladies, Congress and cabinets,
events and elections, and miscellanea and oddities. Supplemental content
includes ‘Republican Top 10′ lists, a timeline of Republican Party history,
descriptions of key events in Republican Party history, a Republican resource
section, quotes from famous Republicans, and lists of Republican statesmen.
In addition to general Republican trivia, an entire chapter is dedicated to
John S. McCain, the Republican nominee for president. For example, did you know
that John McCain was not born in one of the fifty states but by law can run for
president? In addition, you’ll learn why he was called John Wayne McCain by his
Naval Academy classmates and what his voting record as a senator tells us about
his positions on critical fiscal and social issues.
With the important 2008 elections around the corner, Ultimate Republican
Trivia will be an invaluable tool for learning more about the Republican Party
and its presidential nominee, John McCain. Consider this book part election
guide and part reference book. Photos illustrating the moments and presidents of
the Grand Old Party (GOP) are included to bring the trivia and history to life.
