  “All men are created equal … and nothing will ever be the same again in this country.” 
  For 500 years, disease, persecution, forced removal, and outright slaughter of Native Americans affected millions of souls. Treating Native Americans as subhuman, "Indian savages," the US government forced countless indigenous humans who survived into poverty on reservations. 
  Their ancestors in the Spirit World watched hundreds of treaties broken and continue to see their descendants suffer. So, they have raised a vast army led by gifted recruits and a Champion chosen from among the living to conquer an evil Lord and attempt to take down a callous, inhuman President. 
  Dr. Jeromy Whitefeather Ph.D., a Professor of Native American Studies, is transported to the past, and he visits and trains in the Spirit World with a Great Chief named Chingachgook, who was thought to be the last of his Mohican people. He undergoes a dramatic change, gaining courage, strength, and the fiercest warrior fighting skills, and leads a legion of Spirit Warriors in a wild attempt to rewrite American history.

  A gripping testament to human endurance and the indifference of nature, The Open Boat by Stephen Crane captures the harrowing true story of survival at sea after the wreck of the steamer Commodore. Based on Crane’s own near-death experience, this masterpiece of American naturalism follows four men—the captain, the cook, the correspondent, and the oiler—as they struggle against exhaustion, hunger, and the merciless power of the ocean in a tiny dinghy adrift off the Florida coast. Through vivid imagery and piercing realism, Crane explores courage, camaraderie, and the haunting realization that nature is vast, beautiful, and utterly indifferent to man’s fate. 
  Narrated with raw intensity by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook immerses listeners in the rhythm of the waves, the quiet desperation of survival, and the fragile bonds that form in the face of oblivion.
