Janie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Substantial state history used to be taught back in my day, but it's hard for me to find solid state history. And most of what I do find is for grammar stage. I've got my old fourth grade history book which is a good 2" thick. Today's stuff seems to have been reduced to 48 pages. I guess that's why students today don't have a good grasp on state history. :( Please post any resource you find. I'm looking particularly for Virginia state history. Thanks!

Candid Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think this really is going to depend on what state you are in. Here's what I suggest: find old texts that were used in schools back in the 60s. Find out what text your state colleges use, sometimes the author of such texts have non-college adult texts or high school texts. Look in your local bookstore if they have a special section of local books and history. Call the state history museum and talk to staff.
