American History, Renewed by Charles Upton Sahm

Teaching American history is often fraught with controversy, but Gilder Lehrman has stayed above the political fray, thanks to its primary-source document approach. “Our constant North Star is the collection,” notes Tim Bailey, director of education and the 2009 National History Teacher of the Year. “We don’t have an ideological agenda. We believe in teaching history from the words of the people who created our history. . . . Educators shouldn’t be interpreters of history but guides of history.”

This is an excellent history resource and I'm glad to see they are getting some good press.
