American Heritage Quite A Find

Occasionally - and it seems to occur less frequently now - I'll come across a refreshing new magazine. I remember the first time I discovered publications like Dirt Rag and (the 1996-era) Wired.

A little electronic synapse seems to fire from deep within my soul whenever the rare realization strikes that I've found a periodical worthy of subscription. And, that's just what happened when I received my first issue of American Heritage (which I stumbled upon as a result of having air miles I was looking to trade in on something, anything). Taglined History Happens Here, every couple months the magazine serves up a heaping helping of intriguing historical content.

Now, I suspect someone will burst my bubble by revealing the secret leftist, right-wing or class-phobic hidden agenda its editors supposedly possess, but so far I'm simply enjoying reading its seemingly insightful articles at face value. The next time you're browsing the Barnes & Noble or Border's magazine rack, give it a look.
