Pat Breese

Sinopsis

Imagine a land of boundless opportunity, where dreams of a better life collide with the harsh realities of survival. Now picture a single, horrifying event that shattered those dreams and left a stain on American history. American Primeval: Blood, Faith, and Betrayal in the Untamed West takes you deep into the heart of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragedy that exposed the darkest corners of human nature—fear, prejudice, and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition.

In 1857, a group of pioneers known as the Baker-Fancher wagon train set out for California, seeking a new beginning. But their journey took a deadly turn in the remote valleys of Utah, where they were ambushed and slaughtered by a group of Mormon militiamen and their Paiute allies. What drove these settlers to commit such an unthinkable act? How did fear, religious zeal, and cultural conflict ignite one of the most infamous massacres in American history?

This gripping narrative unravels the complex web of events leading up to the massacre, from the rise of the Mormon Church under Brigham Young to the simmering tensions between settlers, Indigenous tribes, and the U.S. government. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, American Primeval brings to life the voices of the victims, the perpetrators, and the survivors, offering a haunting exploration of a tragedy that continues to echo through the ages.

American Primeval is more than just a historical account—it’s a journey into the human soul. You’ll feel the desperation of the pioneers, the paranoia of the settlers, and the resilience of the survivors. You’ll witness the clash of cultures, the power of faith, and the devastating consequences of fear.

From Ancient Arenas to Digital...

P Agrawal

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
From Ancient Arenas to Digital Fields: The Evolution of Sports Through the Ages is a sweeping journey through the history of human competition, play, and physical expression. Tracing the path of sport from its ritualistic beginnings in early human societies to the dazzling world of esports today, this book explores how games have always been more than just recreation. They have been windows into culture, identity, politics, and the human spirit itself.
The story begins in the ancient world, where contests were rituals intertwined with spiritual life, survival skills, and community celebrations. The Greeks carried this vision further with the Olympics, merging athletic excellence with ideals of harmony, discipline, and divine honor. Rome added grandeur and spectacle, transforming sport into a mass performance staged in colossal arenas, where gladiators, charioteers, and emperors used entertainment as a tool for both unity and political power.
Moving into the Middle Ages, the book explores the martial sports of knights, jousts, and chivalry, alongside the rough folk games played in village squares. These events reveal how sport both reflected and shaped social order, from feudal loyalties down to peasant celebrations. The Renaissance and early modern eras introduced rules, codifications, and the beginnings of clubs that would transform chaotic pastimes into recognizable sports, laying the foundation for modern professionalism.
The Age of Empires and colonial expansion carried games across borders, introducing cricket, football, and polo to far-flung corners of the world, where they often became symbols of both imperial power and subtle resistance. By the nineteenth century, professionalism took root—clubs, leagues, and international teams turned sport into an institution that began to dominate cultural and national identities.

Madness Betrayal and the Lash -...

Stephen R. Bown

From 1792 to 1795, George Vancouver sailed the Pacific as the captain of his own expedition and as an agent of imperial ambition. To map a place is to control it, and Britain had its eyes on America's Pacific coast. And map it Vancouver did. His voyage was one of history's greatest feats of maritime daring, discovery, and diplomacy, and his marine survey of Hawaii and the Pacific coast was at its time the most comprehensive ever undertaken. But just two years after returning to Britain, the forty-year-old Vancouver, hounded by critics, shamed by public humiliation at the fists of an aristocratic sailor he had flogged, and blacklisted because of a perceived failure to follow the Admiralty's directives, died in poverty, nearly forgotten. In this riveting and perceptive biography, historian Stephen Bown delves into the events that destroyed Vancouver's reputation and restores his position as one of the greatest explorers of the Age of Discovery.

Finding Francis - One Family's...

Elizabeth J. West

Finding Francis, finding family, freeing history 
 
 
 
Francis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found—in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. 
 
 
 
Elizabeth West has created a remarkable "biohistoriography" of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration—the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free.
