Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American is a chronicle of today’s political landscape. You can’t get a grip on today’s politics without an outline of America’s Constitution, and laws, and the economy, and social customs. Her commentary explores what it means, and what it has meant, to be an American.

She has written about the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, and the American West in award-winning books whose subjects stretch from the European settlement of the North American continent to the history of the Republican Party through the Trump administration. She is the author, most recently, of the best-selling Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America. Her nightly newsletter, Letters from an American, reaches over a million and a half readers.
