I read the Montcalm and Wolfe awhile ago. Nice for coverage of the French and Indian war.

I read his The OregonTrail a long time ago. He didn't actually travel the trail--he got as far as the vicinity of Kansas City. He encountered the Donner Party and thought they were poorly organized so was not surprised when hearing later of their disaster.

I have these in Modern Library hardcover.

Had family on both sides.

I read his THE CONSPIRACY OF PONTIAC in 1961 and realize today’s Detroit Residents have done to the city what Pontiac and his Ottawas could not do in 1764.

I am reading Montcalm and Wolfe right now. I am glad I was able to visit Lake Champlain and Lake George several years ago. Rugged country. The Indians really were savages and the French used them to terrorize the American colonists.

Read about the Genet Affair. Genet was the French ambassador who tried to persuade states to join the French in their revolution and fight against the British. The essential difference between the French and American revolutions was lost on a good number of the anti-Federalists (or democratic republicans). Fortunately President Washington kept the US neutral.

Thank you for taking a moment to see what audio books are around. Hope you find some use.(even if just the text for reading)

As for the Genet Affair I don’t recall this event. I took a look around and found one singular book. What do you think about this book?

Jefferson, friend of France, 1793; the career of Edmond Charles Genet, minister plenipotentiary from the French Republic to the United States, as revealed by his private papers, 1763-1834
