Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's

Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers

The star ofÂ Parks and Recreation, co-host of Making It,Â and author of theÂ New York Times bestsellerÂ Paddle Your Own CanoeÂ returns with a second book that humorously highlights twenty-one figures from our nationâ€™s history, from her inception to present dayâ€”Nickâ€™s personal pantheon of â€œgreat Americans.â€

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,Â 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 combines both serious history with lighthearted humorâ€”comparing, say, Benjamin Franklinâ€™s abstinence from daytime drinking to Nickâ€™s own sage refusal to join his construction crew in getting plastered on the way to work. The subject matter also allows Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics, which readers love to hearâ€”areas such as religion, politics, woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat. The book also features heroic yet humorous portraits by illustrator Ethan Nicolle, literally illuminating the twenty-one august figures.
