The great Saga continues
Holmesboy
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.
it is obvious the authors to great care in their research.

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.
great series
