Description:
In a sweeping survey conducted over nearly a decade, the authors asked 1,500 Americans about their connection to the past. They found that, while textbook history leaves many people cold, the past is neither distant nor insignificant to Americans; rather, it is a pervasive part of their lives that provides a foundation for understanding the present and the future. The ways in which people use their personal, family, and national stories have profound implications for anyone involved in researching or presenting history.
