Hello, everyone! We are cruising the gorgeous Cumberland River currently and enjoying crisp fall weather, blue herons, bald eagles, and lovely scenery. We just visited Dover, Tennessee yesterday which is the site of Fort Donelson, a Civil War battlefield. And the Civil War is the topic of our new audiobook and the free presentation we are sharing with you today. In this newsletter:
NEW AUDIOBOOK AVAILABLE! Many of you have been asking for more of our books to be available as audiobooks. Well, your wish is our command! We are working to get the entire series transformed into audiobooks and the latest is "The Civil War Anaconda Plan." Explore the strategy and impact of the Union plan that significantly contributed to their victory. And don't forget to leave a review for our History Highlights books on Amazon. Thank you!! Here are a few reviews of the Civil War book: Author, Bill Wiemuth, has a great, witty, stimulating writing style, and coupled with thorough research, has given the reader a quick, one hour or so, survey of one of the most important strategies of the Civil War. - R. Dreyer
If you want to read a more detailed and easier read about the Civil War, this is the book. I listened to Bill's video about this piece of history, but wanted to know more, so read this book. And I wasn't disappointed. - D. Crosman
