When I was in Philadelphia recently, I was told there was an excellent article in the August 2011 issue of American History Magazine on the Jefferson Bible. Now I am back home in Texas.
Does that issue have the article and if so where can I get one?
Ken, you can find many back issues at HistoryNet's online shop, http://www.historynetshop.com/back-issues.html. The issue you are looking for is the October 2011, which should currently be on the stands of your local magazine sellers. Thanks for asking.
