The star of Parks and Recreation and author of the
New York Times bestseller Paddle Your Own
Canoe returns with a second book that humorously
highlights twenty-one figures from our nation’s history,
from her inception to present day—Nick’s personal pantheon
of “great Americans.”
To millions of people, Nick
Offerman is America. Both Nick and his character, Ron
Swanson, are known for their humor and patriotism in equal
measure.
After the great success of his
autobiography, Paddle Your Own Canoe, Offerman now
focuses on the lives of those who inspired him. From George
Washington to Willie Nelson, he describes twenty-one heroic
figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning.
He’ll combine both serious history with light-hearted
humor—comparing, say, George Washington’s wooden teeth to
his own experience as a woodworker. The subject matter will
also allow Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics,
which readers love to hear—areas such as religion, politics,
woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity,
philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat.
