History Now Looks at the American West
The institute is pleased to present the ninth issue of history now, a quarterly online journal for history teachers and students, available at www.historynow.org. The issue examines the american west, with essays by some of the most eminent scholars in the field. As always, history now accompanies these scholarly essays with imaginative and accessible supporting material and lesson plans. Don’t miss this issue’s interactive feature -- “a view of the west” -- a photographic tour of the late 19th and early 20th century american west.

Featured Document
The institute regularly features documents from the gilder lehrman collection. In the spotlight this week is a broadside, printed in 1805 in new york city, which illustrates the atrocious treatment of slaves.
