What to expect
Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.
What is history anyway? It is the story of real people who did real things. For history to be fun for everyone (even those who think they hate history), it must go beyond hard facts and meaningless dates to the real people who made the significant events happen. People like George Washington, who bravely crossed the partly frozen Delaware River to attack the British at Trenton. Stories like that of the bold Americans who bravely fought against the Barbary pirates during the little-known Barbary War show how interesting history is.
In this audiobook, you will discover how the US created the Constitution, experience the miraculous victory at the Battle of New Orleans, explore America’s expansion west, and uncover one of America’s best weapons used during World War II.
This audiobook is great for history buffs, those who want the story behind the event, adults who want a snapshot view of American history, and homeschool families for students twelve and up.
