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 :)

That's great! If he could post those here, I'm sure that other people would love to see them as well.

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!)
