Today I would like to highlight the release of a book written by Charles A. Goodrich: Great Events in the History of North and South America
https://librivox.org/great-events-in-the-history-of-north-and-south-america-by-charles-goodrich/
This book ought to be highly useful for home schoolers, it is nearly 90 sections of audio covering a much more generalized education than a deep-dive into one single person or historical event. Many of the audio sections are short in length in the 5-10 minute range, and while the book mentions both North America and South America, 75%~ of the book is North America and almost half of it is the American Revolution and the later Revolutionary War.
Goodrich was a good historian whose name I've come across before, I'm happy someone got to one of his books before I did.
I did not request nor contribute in any way to this book. I simply mention it because I know this will have a benefit and value for someone.
Ping
Does this cover Kunta Mmumbuay inventing penicillin after being brought over on the Mayflower in 1620?
The book was written in 1851, so it has no woke in it.
I should have used a /s tag. I have downloaded the book and look forward to listening.
Not a problem, and I hope you enjoy. I don’t remember all the people I chat with over time so I’ll mention (blindly) that if you look through the keyword freeperbookclub we do routinely have a new direct audio book release and it is sometimes as often as once a month.
I try to keep my eye out for others within similar genres related mainly to Americana. (there is plenty of philosophy, poetry, drama, religious, and other categories that I never mention.)
These are all (the ones coming from me anyways) free and open source in the public domain.
