An opening post

At History Compass, we are excited about the opportunity to share our enjoyment of American history with you.

Our collection of primary source-based U.S. history books, plays, and guides is filled with original documents – letters, photographs, journal entries, maps, broadsheets, essays, newspaper accounts, and illustrations – that tell stories through firsthand accounts of life, struggle, hardship, victory, and success in American history.

Our goal is to provide you stories, compelling and true, that give insight into our nation’s history.  We aim to publish carefully selected, well-researched books that help us better understand our past, give us context for the present, and shed light on our future.  We are excited about the opportunity to share our enjoyment of history with you.

We invite you to talk to us about history, writing, historiography, and our books.
