Reviews

it is obvious the authors to great care in their research.


(5 stars)

I had listened to numerous audiobooks as well as read numerous books on Abraham Lincoln’s life and the American Civil War. The authors provided me with a history lesson not only on President Lincoln but the little known events which led to civil war. I will listen to these volumes again knowing I missed important information. Thank You LibriVox and the many volunteers.

The great Saga continues

Wonderful details, especially the parts about naval battles on the oceans and the rivers. Loved the Battles of New Orleans and the Monitor/Merrimack chapters.
