Discovery Method: My grandma
Influencing Factors: I’m a history nerd, it’s very important that I have some kinda of historical discovery every week. History by mail definitely covers all my interest!
I love this subscription

For the past 2-3 years now, I’ve loved history. I’m 14 and only recently learned how much history meant to me. When my grandma discovered this, she immediately signed me up and at first glance I knew this was the best subscription I’ve ever subscribed to. History? And mail? My two favorite things! Since my school doesn’t have the ever history program, I’ve been so excited to get mail monthly and learn new things that happened sometime in the past. I highly recommend history by mail, it’s amazing.

Relearning History

It's been quite while since I've been in school, so this program is not only a re-education, but provides more depth then anything in a textbook.
