  Did you know that the Klondike Gold Rush was the biggest and fastest movement of people in North American history? 
  From 1897 to 1898, over 100,000 men and women walked, rode, paddled, and sailed thousands of miles to the Klondike River area of the Canadian Yukon in search of gold. 
  Out of those 100,000 people, only about a quarter ever made it to the goldfields, and those who did mostly went home empty-handed. But for a very lucky, hard-working, and fortunate few, the goldfields of the Yukon meant fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. 
  In this audiobook by Captivating History, you will discover the truth about the famous Klondike Stampede. 
  Here’s just a small “nugget” of what you’ll discover:The Klondike River area of the Yukon was the richest gold find in history to that date.The first “strike” was made entirely by accident.The first man to discover gold in the Klondike was a First Nations man named Skookum Jim, but his white brother-in-law filed the first claim because it was felt that a native claim would not be honored.The Gold Rush began with a tale told in a bar.Thousands of cheechakos or “tenderfeet” with no experience in the woods made their way to the Yukon.Men were required to take one thousand pounds of gear into Canada, which meant hiking back and forth in stages, literally covering thousands of miles on what normally would have been a seven-hundred plus mile journey.Thousands of horses and dogs were employed, and thousands were maltreated and killed due to men’s greedHundreds of women joined the rush, most of whom ended up in less than savory occupations.Many of the First Nations people worked as packers and guides for the newcomers, earning more money than most miners ever found.

  Understand the science explaining why caloric restriction diets fail long-term for the vast majority of people and why the weight loss industry profits from this predictable failure.

Learn why willpower cannot overcome metabolic adaptation, hormonal changes, and neurological restructuring that dieting initiates as your body defends against perceived starvation. The narrator reveals how diet industry marketing creates false expectations, blames individuals for biological inevitabilities, and profits from repeat customers guaranteed by their products fundamental ineffectiveness. Discover the psychological damage caused by repeated diet failure including disordered eating, body shame, and metabolic harm that makes subsequent weight management even more difficult. Understand set point theory, metabolic adaptation research, and why lasting weight loss may require completely different approaches than caloric restriction. This audiobook examines what actually influences body composition, why health and weight are not as connected as assumed, and how the pursuit of thinness often damages health it supposedly serves. Learn alternative frameworks for health and wellbeing that do not depend on fighting biological imperatives destined to win. Perfect for anyone exhausted by diet cycling, recovering from eating disorders, or seeking evidence-based understanding of weight, health, and the industry that profits from your struggles.

  Robert Smalls: The Life of the...

  Robert Smalls’ life illustrates what can happen when one is freed from the fetters of others’ estimations. Smalls’ metamorphosis from slave to ship pilot to U.S. Congressman displays the power of fiery determination and unrelenting ambition. News of Smalls’ incredible exploit made it all the way up to Lincoln, who eventually met him and asked why he would dare such a thing. Smalls replied with only one word: ‘Freedom.’”  
  	In desperation, Robert Smalls and other enslaved members of the crew of the Confederate transport ship CSS Planter dared to dream of sailing themselves to freedom, so on the night of May 13, 1862, they attempted to escape with their masters’ ship. That perilous night could have ended in triumph or tragedy for the mutineers, and Smalls’ wife, little daughter, and infant son were below deck, along with the families of his crew. They risked it all, and 17 men, women, and children escaped enslavement because of the intrepid plan.  
  	After escaping, Smalls continued to participate in the Civil War, and throughout 17 missions and combat battles, he fought for the freedom of enslaved people in the Confederate states. Meanwhile, he learned to read, taking lessons from a teacher named Harriet Buss, and he also lobbied Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to enlist Black soldiers. The Union eventually did so, recruiting thousands of Black soldiers and formed several new regiments.  
  	After enslaved people won emancipation, Smalls achieved the rank of major general in the South Carolina militia, and after the war, he served in the South Carolina state legislature, followed by multiple terms as a South Carolina representative to the U.S. House of Representatives. His achievements were remarkable for anyone, but especially for a former slave living in an era defined by violence and prejudice.

  Angelica - For Love and Country...

  Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton's "saucy" sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson's "charming coterie" of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. 
   
   
   
  A woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries), Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries; in Newport, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette; in Yorktown, just after the decisive battle; in Paris and London, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage. 
   
   
   
  In this enthralling and revealing woman's-eye view of a revolutionary era, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica's story, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends, including the making of a new nation.
