Loved my order!
I just recently placed my first order with “The History List” and was pleasantly surprised. My order arrived quickly. The presentation of my order was well put together and the quality of the items I ordered was top notch. The t-shirt was super soft and did not shrink when washed. The blanket I ordered was amazing, better than the pictures on line and is now on display at my home. The sweatshirt was also soft and is now one of my favorite to wear. This was my first order but will not be my last. High quality at very affordable prices.

Great bag for my daughter
My 5th grade daughter and I love history. I got this bag a 5th grade graduation present. She loves the humor in it and uses it along with her Knox Moving Company shirt. Well made and clever!
