You know this looks great. You've carefully read the reviews like I have. (They're not wrong: it was engaging, stimulating, fascinating, and thought-provoking.) But here's the thing: in addition, Bruce accommodated our family like crazy, added extra time and information as he could, and engaged with 4 curious learners like the best of teachers. He even corresponded with me after the tour to give his thoughts on research I had found. He had seen it long before. Natch. If you have found a guide in any facet in life that can differentiate across knowledge levels, ages, and temperaments, then you have found gold. As we continue in the arduous task of building a more perfect union today, understanding the through-line so well presented in this tour will help you. And entertain you! Take the tour.

If only I had a history teacher as engaging as Bruce, I might have learned much more and wanted to learn about American History Long before Hamilton on Broadway! Lol
