CWRT MAGAZINES
Civil War Magazines Survey Analysis
It is widely believed that members of CWRTs are great readers. This survey was designed to ascertain what reading material CWRT members prefer outside the usual war-related histories and/or historical fiction.
Proven Practices
• Magazine subscribers are true readers who reads a majority of magazines to which a subscription is paid and enjoys other reading materials that are described in the magazine.
• Many magazine subscribers are focused on leaders, strategy and tactics, campaigns, battles and skirmishes and may or may not read other articles.
• Some magazine subscribers share their reading material with others most notably with other CWRT members.
• At a time when most CWRT members decry the lack of American history education in our public schools, most do not avail themselves to share their beloved magazines with schools, teachers or libraries.
• In those communities in which the local school district will not allow Civil War material in their midst, there are other environments where students are supported in their curiosity about the making of America by adults who understand the value of history.
