As the biography of Mr. Nye to the right side of this page
indicates, it's very possible that he might have been an influence
on the producers of humorous history films like Mel Brooks'
"History of the World." Nye starts the book with a letter delivered
to Queen Isabella of Spain, advising her that if she grows tired of
her current staff 'discover, ' that a new one named Chris is
recommended. Ultimately, she decided to put up a couple of bucks
for this young fellow, and the rest is, well... you know. From what
Nye tells us, "America had many other discoverers besides Columbus,
but he seems to have made more satisfactory arrangements with the
historians that any of the other." Having set the tone with those
first two chapters, Nye continues to chronicle the growth of this
great country all the way up the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, when
the country was so fully developed that there probably wouldn't be
room for much more improvement.
