Several years ago, in a regular feature Folio: magazine used to run about the magazines subscribed to by people in magazine publishing, I said the following:
Folio: If you could subscribe to only one title, which would it be?
Me: American Heritage. I enjoy history, and I enjoy the excellent writing. It also gives me a context for where l am today.
So, yes, I’m saddened with the news from its publisher that the magazine is “on indefinite hold.”
Sidenote: While not a direct competitor with American Heritage, Hammock publishes a beautiful magazine that includes an editorial focus on American history.
