Historical Snapshots

About Us

Our mission is to share stories of people who, throughout history, have helped society progress, stood up for others, or simply brought joy. In addition, we also publish stories about historical events and documents.

We typically publish every weekday. Our flash stories and podcasts are available for everyone. The following are a few recent ones:

• Walt Whitman

• Palestine 1936: The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict - A conversation with Oren Kessler

• The Love of Theodore Roosevelt and Alice Hathaway Lee

Our long-form stories and eBooks are for paid subscribers. These are some examples:

• Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell

• President Abraham Lincoln

• The Munich Agreement: Part I

We invite you to explore all these stories with us. Thank you for being a part of the Historical Snapshots journey.
