The 200 chapters cover all of American History from the time of the explorers through the end of the Civil War – stories of conflicts over religion, troubles with the Indians, the French and Indian War, the causes of the American Revolution, the daring exploits of those defending liberty, the early battles and struggles of the army, the heroes who led the colonists to victory, anecdotes from the time Washington became president, the War of 1812, the rise of Andrew Jackson, the sectional differences leading to the Civil War, stories from the time Lincoln and the southern states seceding, through the battles of Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, until the close of the war.
This is a great sweeping overview of American History that includes stories, poems, and songs, and is specifically targeted towards a younger listening audience. But frankly, I believe everyone who listens to this recording will learn a LOT of American History in an entertaining fashion.
