I went looking for American Heritage at Barnes & Noble but didn't find it. I'll try again next trip and see if they do carry it. I grew weary of Smithsonian, plus their print is too fine. Saving paper, no doubt?

Speaking of "Ancient American", have you read "1491"?

I'm not familiar with the mag. you refer to, but American Heritage magazine is the first that pops into mind.  You also should try a large bookstore that has a periodicals section similar to what Boarders had before they closed.
 
Smithsonian used to be a fairly good one, now it's more of a travelogue.  And it's focus is no longer on the US.
I'm not sure what era your most interested in, but Ancient American is very good. It's also available on line.
It's not exactly "mainstream", but it isn't "fringie" either.  It gives a more modern view based on recent discoveries and just plain common sense.

I'll appreciate that. Also, I want to find an American History magazine that can talk about more than our infamous wars. There were other things happening and there was history here before 1492. History Today manages to do it. We should also.

I'll see if i can find some relevant articles for you. If you're interested in prehistory, the best person to talk to would be Drusin

All periods interest me, Nick, but I latch onto prehistory fast because it is harder to find anything about that time. A natural situation, of course, but there it is. And I would love to see more American history - North America and South America. There has been a real shortage of South American History in my life - pre Spanish anyway.

Since this forum does what I like with history - covers all topics instead of just wars, perhaps you can help. The best magazine that comes into my home is Britain's History Today. Can anyone tell me an American equivalent to History Today? I search the stands and all I find are war magazines. There is much more to history than wars, I'm sure you will agree. Maybe someone knows of such a magazine?
