Title: Any good audio book suggestions?
Post by: Nashville Stage on February 14, 2022, 02:38:44 PM
Ok, folks... What audio books would you recommend? I'm looking for Revolutionary War era stories, but I'm also open to American history in general around . I've got an Audible credit that's burning a hole in my account.

I think this is a great listen. There is another Betty Zane Trilogy listed but the reviews are not very good. You only get 1 story for each credit but I like the way Prichard reads.

Betty Zane (AKA Elizabeth Zane of Gallant Young Women fame, Elizabeth is her sister in law)
By: Zane Grey
Narrated by: Michael Prichard
Series: The Ohio River Trilogy, Book 1

That's my Two Cents :)

While not an audio book per se, Mike Rowe (the Dirty Jobs host) just released a podcast episode about George Washington.

I'm currently listening through "Legends and Lies: The Patriots, by David Fisher & Bill O'Reilly (thanks to Black Russian for the recommendation!)
