History: Beyond the Textbook

Alex Mattke

History: Beyond the Textbook seeks to examine American history through the experiences of those who lived it in seasons spanning 12 episodes each.  Each season, high school history teacher Alex Mattke covers a separate era of American history and features perspectives on well-known events and lesser-known experiences of famous historical figures.  Season One covered the colonial era in American history, and Season Two, covering America’s Revolution, returns on February 27, with new episodes every Tuesday up until the finale on May 7!
