American History Magazine
The Minuteman's review of American
History magazine. Learn about this key history
magazine and order your subscription here.
 If you like
learning about the Revolutionary War, I would like to recommend American
History magazine to you. I'm sure you'll love it like I
do.
American
History is published by the Weider History Group, along
with a
group of other history magazines such as Wild West magazine, World War II magazine and Civil War.
American
History magazine doesn't focus solely on the American
Revolution, but generally every issue has several good stories on the Revolution. Each
issue has five or six feature articles, as well as a variety of smaller
special interest stories. Recent feature articles have included one
about the history of Mount Vernon, the home George Washington
built on the banks of the Potomac, another about Mercy Otis Warren,
who was called "The Conscience of the Revolution," whose fiery poems and plays
helped stoke anti-British sentiment in colonial America, another about
the restoration of "Montpelier," the home of James and Dolley Madison
and yet another about the role of pirates in the American Revolution. Other
non-Revolutionary War feature articles have included stories about Buffalo Bill Cody's
Wild West, the excavations at Jamestown and the history of Yankee
Stadium.
There are several special sections in each issue as well. There is a
section called "Publick Occurrences" that relates current events that
have a connection to American history. For example, one
recent article in this section covered the moving and renovation of a
house built and owned by Alexander Hamilton in New York City. Another
article discussed the recent renovation of the Smithsonian's National
Museum of American History and the new home of the American flag that
was hanging over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the War of
1812. This is the flag that Francis Scott Key was watching as he penned
the Star Spangled Banner from a British ship on which he was held
captive. Other articles have covered the
finding of the HMS Ontario, a British warship sunk during the
Revolution, the scientific analysis of some guns owned by James Madison
and James Monroe that were allegedly made from an Argentinian meteorite
and the finding of several World War II MIA's whose airplanes crashed
in the Himalayas.
Another American
History section is called "Dialogue." In this section,
the author of a recent American History book is interviewed and asked
questions about his or her book.
The "Deconstructed" section takes a
closer look at a famous American historical event, person or landmark. Recent articles in this section
have included an interesting look at Charles Willson Peale,
known as the "Artist of the Revolution," who made famous portraits of many
Revolutionary War figures. Another article featured an in depth look at
the history and construction of New York's Brooklyn Bridge.
Other sections include "Precedents," which looks at historical trends
that reflect on current issues, "Bloodlines," which looks at the
descendants of American historical figures and "Challenge," which is a
fun set of questions and answers about
American historical events.
In addition, there are lots of reviews of current books, movies and TV
shows about American history, as well as Letters to the Editor and
advertisements for related things, such as travel information to
Revolutionary War Sites, American historical figurines and artifacts,
etc.
