Latest reviews of US Historical Documents app for iPhone and iPad

Excellent resource
The range of documents in this app is comprehensive yet very well organized. An outstanding resource!
U.S Historical Documents
The existance of many of these documents have been gradually forgotten by many Americans over the past 40 years; this is very unfortunate. For those of you who are unable to rattle off the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence or are unable to recall the preamble to the Constitution, this app is for you; read 1-2 documents at a time and over time, you will feel better about a lot of things. Oh, BTW; its as entertaining as it us enlightening...
