Funny I read this...for the last year (hmmm...coincidence?) my wife has been buying every old non-fiction book she can find. It is amazing, when looking at my granddaughter’s history book, that there is just 3 paragraphs on the entire American revolution, and it fills over 50 pages of a school history book from the 1950s.

lol.

I have a mountain of old paper sources from the 1880’s to the 1960’s. Time, Life, Newsweek, Farmers WIfe etc etc. My grand kids are in grade school and starting to write essays, book reports etc.

I am having a blast giving them news magazines from the time of the topic as the source. 90% of the time they get a low grade and I send in the source with a request for reviewing their grade. The grade has been adjusted each time
