The Americans 11 True Stories of Challenge and Wonder (Audible Audio Edition) Michael Fuller David Vachon Paul Chrastina Rick Bromer Michael Holmes Winfield Scott Books Reviews
I heard about this audible and was intrigued by a couple of the stories. I loved it! Francis Scott Key's story, with appropriate sound effects, was very entertaining as well as educational. I am not a history buff but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing these stories. I highly recommend the audible.
This is an interesting and educational collection of eleven short biographies of Americans who showed great courage and determination. The Americans featured are Amelia Earhart, the first female to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1928 and the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932; Doctor William Morton, a dentist who first publicly demonstrated the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anesthetic in 1846; Dorothea Dix, an activist on behalf of the insane, who created the first generation of American mental asylums in the 1800s; Phineas Taylor Barnum, a showman and businessman remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus; Francis Scott Key, a lawyer, author, and amateur poet who wrote the lyrics to the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner"; Elizabeth Blackwell who, although British-born, was notable as the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States in 1849; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, notorious for a series of bank and train robberies in the 1890s; Lafayette Baker, an investigator and spy serving the Union Army during the American Civil War, who later became the head of the federal secret service; William and Ellen Craft, slaves from Georgia, who escaped to Philadelphia in the North in 1848; Annie Oakley, a renowned markswoman and star who worked with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in the 1800s; and Sam Clemens, a riverboat pilot and Confederate soldier who later became known as writer Mark Twain.
This collection contains the stories of a nice mixture of male and female American legends. Some I had only heard of and some I knew well; however, I learned something new about them all. The biographies provide a wealth of information told in a storylike manner, full of intimate details, conversations, action, and suspense. The narration by Michael Holmes holds the listener's attention and is enhanced by a musical background and sound effects at key points during the stories.
My only complaint is that, in the Audible edition, the chapters should be labelled and the narration should include the chapter names to clarify which story we are listening to. This information, as well as the authors' names, are included in the edition.
An interesting - as well as educational and entertaining - collection, well worth a listen.
I received this audiobook in return for an honest review.
