Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the heart of the American Revolution, South Carolina emerged as a beacon of defiance, a state where the flames of liberty burned brightest.

This book tells the forgotten story of South Carolina's pivotal role in the Revolutionary War. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, it brings to life the heroes and heroines who shaped the course of history, from the daring exploits of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, to the resilience of the Cherokee Nation in the face of overwhelming odds.

South Carolina was a hotbed of revolutionary fervor from the very beginning. Its citizens were among the first to take up arms against British rule, and they fought with unwavering determination throughout the long and bloody war. The state's strategic location made it a key battleground, and its people endured untold hardships as the conflict raged around them.

From the opening shots fired at Fort Moultrie to the final surrender at Yorktown, South Carolina's Revolutionary War story is one of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to the cause of liberty. This book is an inspiring tribute to the state's proud heritage and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.

Uncover the untold stories of South Carolina's Revolutionary War heroes, from the brave soldiers who fought on the front lines to the ordinary citizens who made extraordinary sacrifices. Witness the state's transformation from a British colony to a beacon of independence, and explore the lasting impact of the war on the state and the nation as a whole.

Dublin

Ingo Latotzki, Claudia Latotzki

Consolidated by the Norsemen in 841, Dublin became the capital of the Republic of Ireland (Eire) when the country gained formal independence in 1922. It is primarily an industrial city, and boasts distilleries, breweries and flour-mills among the more scenic delights that include the Tobacco Factory, the Customhouse, the 13th-century St Patrick's Cathedral and the Gothic-style Catholic church of St Audoen. As shown by the author, Ingo Latotzki, Dublin remains a city that is both poetic and tragic. It was here that Irishmen determined to achieve national independence instigated the Easter Rising of April 1916, an attempt at a revolt that the writer O'Flaherty has so well described in his many publications on the subject of ‘English' domination. Here too are the pubs and bars in which the inhabitants love to sing as they down their pints of ever-frothing stout.

History of Sweden: A Captivating...

Captivating History

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military “super-highways” to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches. 
The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed the people’s interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History’s History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden’s fascinating history. 
In this audiobook, you will discover:The Swedes’ fierce struggle to gain independenceThe “Father of Sweden,” King Gustav Vasa and his dynasty that spawned some of the greatest military minds in EuropeHow the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North AmericaSweden’s revolutionary war tactics and how that led to victories on the battlefieldWhy Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutralityThe hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWIIAnd much more!

We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it.
