Truth And Fiction

November 2023
1min read


I subscribe to American Heritage for its historical pieces. I simply don’t care what someone who has done some writing looks upon as his or her “favorite” historical novel. Nor am I impressed by observations on “the power of a historical novel.” Sure, they are easier to write since their authors don’t have to worry too much about attribution. But that is what makes them non-history. Give us the facts. Give us what we have come to expect of American Heritage .

We hope you enjoy our work.

Please support this 72-year tradition of trusted historical writing and the volunteers that sustain it with a donation to American Heritage.
