Books with interesting snippets of American history/culture

[emma]

I am looking for books, maybe in a sort of daily-reading format, containing interesting & informative snippets of American history/culture. Preferably focusing on events and culture before the 21st century. If you know of any books in a similar format written in English about other countries and places, those suggestions are welcome also!
