Golden Spike Reportage - Best of the Web award

From: "Shmoop BOTW awards" shmoopbotw@gmail.com

I'm writing to let you know that your website won Shmoop's Best of the Web award for Great Inventions of the Gilded Age!

Shmoop is an education website for students and teachers (middle school through college ages). Our mission is to make learning fun and relevant for today's students. Each of our learning guides includes a "Best of the Web" section, where we point teachers and students to quality, reliable websites for further exploration. And we picked your site!

Our writers (who are mostly Ph.D. students at Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, etc.) pick the sites that go into our Best of the Web section. Teachers and students rely on our expert writers to point out only the highest quality websites, so you should feel quite honored!

Congratulations and thanks for providing such a great resource for teachers & students.
