About Yankee: Robb Sagendorph founded Yankee Magazine in September 1935 as a New England-centric magazine for Yankee readers, by Yankee writers, and about Yankeedom. Its destiny would be the expression and... preservation of that great culture into which every Yank was born and by which every real Yank must live. Today Yankee boasts nearly 300,000 subscribers and the company is still family-owned. In addition to Yankee, they also publish the Old Farmer's Almanac and New Hampshire Magazine.
