The Civil War: In Their Own Words - The Actual Words of Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Beacher Stowe, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Clarence, a 15 year-old soldier (Unabridged)

Synopsis

In this star-studded audiobook commissioned specially for audio, Abraham Lincoln and Harriet Beecher Stowe's narration is woven together with powerfully acted scenes from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the speeches and writing of Lincoln, Emerson, and others, bringing the Civil War to dazzling, authentic new life. Riveting dialogue, personal letters and the infamous Lincoln-Douglas debates reverberate with powerful relevance today. "America has never been so divided-except during the Civil War. I kept thinking, 'What if we could produce an audiobook that gives voice to the great leaders of that time period? Could the words of those great leaders help us now?'" shared executive producer Alison Larkin.
