Title: The Civil War Subtitle: 1861-1865: The USA at War with Itself Author: Robert Boscarato Narrator: Jae Huff Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-16 Publisher: RKB LEGAL DEFENSE FUND INC Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: It was a war that saw many firsts. The long list of Civil War firsts include America's first income tax, the first battle between ironclad ships, the first extensive use of black soldiers and sailors in US service, the first use of quinine to treat typhoid fever, America's first military draft, and many others. There were advances in medical treatment, military tactics, the chaplain service, and other fields. Over the course of the Civil War, weapons ranged from obsolete flintlocks to state-of-the-art repeaters. During the Civil War, women took on new roles, including running farms and plantations and spying; some disguised themselves as men and fought in battle. All of the nation's ethnic groups participated in the war, including Irish, Germans, American Indians, Jews, Chinese, Hispanics, etc. Other Names for the Civil War Northerners have also called the Civil War the War to Preserve the Union, the War of the Rebellion (War of the Southern Rebellion), and the War to Make Men Free. Southerners may refer to it as the War Between the States or the War of Northern Aggression. In the decades following the conflict, those who did not wish to upset adherents of either side simply called it The Late Unpleasantness. It is also known as Mr. Lincoln's War and, less commonly, as Mr. Davis' War. Troop Strength and Casualties Between April 1861 and April 1865, an estimated 1.5 million troops joined the war on the side of the Union, and approximately 1.2 million went into Confederate service. An estimated total of 600,000 were killed in action or died of disease. More than twice that number were wounded, but survived at least long enough to muster out. Casualties of the Civil War Casualties cannot be calculated exactly, due to missing records (especially on the Southern side) and the inability to determine exactly how many combatants died from wounds, drug addiction, or other war-related causes after leaving the service.

Longfellow. Hijo de un inmigrante francés y criado en un modesto hogar americano de mediados del siglo XVIII, desde muy joven comprendió a cabalidad el significado del esfuerzo propio y de tener sólidas convicciones y sentido de la moral, puesto que debió hacerse cargo de su familia y el negocio de su padre, que falleciera dejando sobre sus hombros una gran responsabilidad. Fue por esos mismo valores que abrazó la causa libertaria de la nación que albergaba a su familia, sus sueños y esperanzas, sirviendo al ejército patriota y colaborando destacablemente en varias ocasiones hasta ver lograda la independencia de los Estados Unidos, no sin dejar tras su muerte un romántico legado que hoy forma parte del imaginario de su su patria.

Lee: Volume Three Author: Douglas Southall Freeman Narrator: Charlton Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-18 Publisher: Audio Connoisseur Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Volume three opens in May 1863 as Lee assessed his situation after the great Confederate victory at Chancellorsville and the loss of General Jackson. Lee quickly reorganized his army and headed north, hoping to inflict a war-ending defeat on the Union. But absent Jackson, his army was not the same. At Gettysburg, after three days of horrific fighting climaxed by Pickett's disastrous charge, almost one-third of Lee's entire army was killed, wounded, or captured. Meade's losses were identical, but he had greater reserves. Retreating to Virginia, Lee spent the next nine months bolstering his army with ever dwindling provisions. As the winter of 1863-64 came to an end, Lee prepared his troops for renewed action. But due to attrition, he had lost the initiative and could fight only a defensive war against an overwhelming, implacable foe: U. S. Grant. But Grant soon realized the valiant Army of Northern Virginia was like no army he had ever faced. With veteran troops numbering fewer than half those of Grant, Lee grimly managed to grind the Union army to a halt in front of Richmond. But for how long? Listeners are urged to follow battles using the maps Freeman himself drew, which are included in the accompanying downloadable PDF document. Critic Reviews: "Lee complete for all time." (The New York Times)

Title: Liver-Eating Johnson Subtitle: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Mountain Man Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Dan Gallagher Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-18 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: To possess and develop western North America became a high priority for the United States government even before its Constitution had been complete. For President Thomas Jefferson, the vast terrain of plains, mountains, and extensive coastlines offered both long-term prosperity and protection from competing international powers. Railroads were still some decades off, and passable roads were all but nonexistent. From its first interactions with numerous Indian cultures, the government understood that the western portion of the continent was already "owned" by a variety of indigenous tribes, despite their alternate concept of ownership. To gain possession of the coasts and the interior meant there would be new languages to be learned, hundreds of treaties to be struck, and wars to be fought over several regions. No familiar institutions of power were suitable for creating a foothold in the continent's interior, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. The US Army eventually made inroads to the Great Plains and beyond, but the first true explorers of the far wests interior arose from within a relatively small culture embodied by the American mountain man. By the golden age of the mountain man in the mid-19th-century, there were perhaps only 3,000 living in the West. Their origins were disparate, although they included many Anglo-Americans. A good number hailed from wilderness regions of Kentucky and Virginia and throughout the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, which occupied the entire central section of the continent. French Canadians traveled from the north to work in the fur trade, while Creole-Europeans represented approximately 15% of the men known to be living the isolated mountain life. Although the most enduring accomplishments belonged to the mountain men who had discovered, charted, and helped build the great passes through the Rockies to the west, others have retained public fascination for simply being colorful and elusive historical personalities. Such was the case of a legend who came to be known by the singularly unappetizing moniker of Liver-Eating Johnson. One of the mountain men who was present from the peak of mountain culture to its twilight, his literal accomplishments are few and of limited scope in the sense of exploration; however, he is intimately associated with a dangerous life of intrigue, revenge, and physical horrors unspeakable in polite society. While his colleagues took steps to tame the American wilderness, he became a symbol of its savagery. Johnsons protracted war of vengeance speaks of a constant interaction with the Crow culture of the northwest and the territories of Wyoming and Montana in particular. Liver-Eating Johnson: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Mountain Man looks at the life and legends of one of the Wests most famous men.

Title: King Philip's War Author: IntroBooks Narrator: Andrea Giordani Format: Unabridged Length: 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: IntroBooks Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: One of the most significant wars in the history of the British American colonies is King Philip's War, which is also known as the Great Narragansett War. Others may also call it Metacomets War, First Indian War, Metacoms War, or the Metacoms Rebellion. The 14-month long war brought much destruction and loss of lives. The natives furiously attacked the English settlements in this period and destroyed several of them. King Philips War saw the highest loss of lives in terms of war in the history of America. As many as 40% of natives lost their lives or fled the nation in fear of death. The natives who survived the war were taken prisoners and sold as slaves. There were many native villages also that were destroyed, and New Englands native population was now reduced to a few handful natives scattered throughout the region. The war was won by the Puritan English who then saw this victory as a sign to expand their settlements. Whatever independence the natives had was lost because of the war. The political system of the natives was now controlled by the colonies, and the natives were now slaves in the region. The war left a deep and stretched impact on the natives who had to suffer for long.

Title: Mordecai Lincoln - Book 2 - Santa Anna's Leg Author: Richard F Dee Narrator: Wayne Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 08-15-17 Publisher: Richard F Dee Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: 1840s, action-packed adventure, with a goodly dollop of humor and romance. Fact: In the spring of 1840, a hodge-podge "army" of not very scrupulous mountain men, Mexican bandidos, and 200 Ute Indian warriors, swept down on Mexico's, Alta California. In the vicinity of El Pueblo de Los Angeles, these "brigands" gathered up and drove away, some 3 to 5,000 prime-quality horses and mules! Little more is recorded of this event, and all sources vary wildly concerning the specifics. The following is the frolicsome fleshed-out fable of that raid, and of the unforeseen repercussions it precipitated for the destinies of three nations - Mexico, the USA, and Great Britain. The real-life players include: crusty, eccentric, Old Bill Williams, and fellow conspirator, Tom (Peg-leg) Smith, the mountain men who conceived and organized the raid, Ute Chief Walkara, who's braves did most of the dirty-work, plus "that stellar scoundrel" Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, President of Mexico, who had come north to quash the fires of California rebellion, using his usual methods of blunt force, summary trial, and instant execution. Our three "heroes" - Parson Mordecai Lincoln, mountain man Ben Hammond, and the ex-slave, Euripides - are sucked into these momentous events by merest chance. Along the way they encounter various intriguing characters in one too-close-to-call "mishap" after another. Vengeful Navajos and Comancheros, mission padres with an ax to grind, a seditious Don and his fiery daughter, American, British, and Mexican warships on hair trigger, and Mordecai's life-long nemeses - those notorious Maddox brothers - reborn! All contrive to keep "things" really popping.

Title: Unsettled Boundaries Subtitle: Fraser Gold and the British-American Northwest Author: Robert E Ficken Narrator: Richard Peterson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Responding to reports of gold discoveries on the Fraser River, thousands of prospectors from California and other points on the Pacific coast crossed the 49th parallel to British territory in 1858. Most returned to San Francisco and Puget Sound later in the same year, blaming their failure to find wealth in the river canyons on uncooperative Hudson's Bay Company officials and the English government. Viewing events from the perspective of California, historians have generally considered the gold rush a failure. In reality, the Fraser River experience was a sustained success, continuing beyond 1858 and embracing the vast interior of British Columbia, and becoming one of the major developments in Pacific Northwest history. Although it was an artificial line bisecting forest, mountain, and prairie, the 49th parallel separated distinct regions of law and custom, explaining why many Americans were unable to comprehend the true nature of their adventures in British North America. The book is published by Washington State University Press.

Title: Relieve Us of This Burthen Subtitle: American Prisoners of War in the Revolutionary South, 1780-1782 Author: Carl P. Borick Narrator: Wayne Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-17 Publisher: University of South Carolina Press Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Relieve Us of This Burthen is the first book-length study of Continental soldiers, officers, and militiamen held as prisoners of war by the British in the South during the American Revolution. Carl P. Borick focuses his study on the period 1780-82, when British forces most actively campaigned in the South. He gives a detailed examination of the various hardships of imprisonment and efforts to assist and exchange prisoners while also chronicling events and military policies that affected prisoners during and after captivity. As have prisoners of any war, captives in the Revolution suffered both physical and mental adversities during their imprisonments, and the impact often stayed with them after their release. Many escaped their captors or broke paroles to fight again. Others were exchanged; still others enlisted in British forces sent to the West Indies, and many died in prison. Because of the intense combat in South Carolina, more Americans were taken prisoner there than elsewhere across the Southern Department. Borick concentrates much of his narrative on Charleston and the lowcountry. Some 6,000 Continentals, militia, and seamen were captured when Charleston surrendered in May 1780. This was the largest number of prisoners taken during a single operation. Occupied Charleston became the key prisoner depot for the British in the South. Borick also explores British recruiting efforts among prisoners, particularly by the Duke of Cumberland's Regiment, raised from prisoners kept in Charleston for service in the West Indies against the French and Spanish. That regiment's experiences during and after the war were far different from those of other American soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
