Journal of the Early Americas

Is anyone currently getting this relitively new magazine? I went to their website and so far looks pretty good. A friend said I should check it out. Another friend said that after seeing two issues he is thinking of subscribing it is so good.

Anybody got any input?

A very good magazine Dog. Heavy slick paper, most or all photos in color. Minimum of adds, and all adds are living history related. Excellent very well written articles. Even some how to's. I was not disappointed.

I am a subscriber. Unlike most magazines that start out as a newspaper-like black and white, and slowly work up to a color magazine, this one took off in full glossy color right from the start. The staff is attending various reenactments, etc. at forts and events to promote the magazine.

The articles are very high quality, annoted with footnote sources, well illustrated. My only concern is that most all the articles are currently written by their staff and they will need to ramp up their contributing writers over time so they don't burn out. But the magazine is growing subscribers fast and I think they will do fine.

If you are into reenacting or good historic information you can't go wrong with a subscription. If you subscribe you can get the back issues and have the full set(I think they are issuing their 5th magazine right now?)

They are currently out of Volume 1 (ran out last week at CLA). They will need at least a batch of 1000 to go back to the printer (I asked if a new run would be made)...
