Wow! What a read!

I am "historically impaired". I enjoy hearing "stories" from our past but I can never remember who did what, when. Therefore I don't usually make time for history. Enter "American Heritage" magazine. It is not a tired old rag about the Revolutionary War or who was the best Civil War general. No, it is a magazine full of lively articles on UNUSUAL facts from our history. Get this magazine and get the scoop on the flu that killed a million, the fascinating story of a secret mountain masacre or the plan to play God by cleansing the "feeble minded". Who knew!! Subscribe and be riveted!

Best Magazine on the Rack

When I was little, my dad always said good things about this magazine. My attitude was always "I'm not gonna buy a magazine to bore myself some more" - I mean, c'mon, it's a history magazine. I was absolutely wrong. I picked up this magazine one day and I was hooked. I would say that American Heritage has found its way to make history interesting. One way that it does this is to somehow weave issues of current interest (as subtle as they may be) into its articles. On the second thought, I should have listened to my dad from the beginning - he's an anesthesiologist - he knows what put people to sleep and what does not. This magazine keeps me awake - sometimes I would put my paper/project aside just so that I could finish my copy in one sitting. It's unfortunate that this magazine only comes out every two months. American Heritage makes history grrreattt! ... even for a non-history buff in his early 20's like myself.
