  My Red Cap

  Louisa May Alcott

  From Louisa May Alcott comes a deeply human Civil War tale of endurance and grace. On a Boston parade ground, a nurse and her nephew meet Joe Collins, a tall, earnest Maine lumberman marching off to war. Months later, in a Washington hospital, they find him again—wounded but unbroken, thinking first of the family who depends on him. Years pass, and the war’s aftershocks echo in the city streets, where a gray-bearded messenger in a red cap still carries himself like a soldier, reminding us of the nation’s debt to its veterans. Drawn from Alcott’s own service as a Union nurse, My Red Cap is a moving portrait of courage, compassion, and the quiet heroism that endures long after the drums fall silent. Narrator Greg Cooper brings Joe’s New England humor, plainspoken dignity, and resilient heart to life—guiding listeners from camp and hospital to the hard-won hope of a soldiers’ home. A short, unforgettable listen for fans of historical fiction and American classics, this story will leave you grateful, inspired, and newly aware of those who served and still live among us.

  W L George - A Short Story...

  W L George

  Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
   
  It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
   
  By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
   
  His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
   
  His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
   
  W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

  Back Before the Moon - Terror In...

  High in the isolated mountain country of northern New Mexico, spring arrives like a curse. Rivers explode from melting snow, wolves cry beneath the moon, and frightened whispers spread through hidden valleys where old beliefs still carry more weight than medicine. When young Erslinda falls dangerously ill after a series of terrifying signs in the wilderness, her father rides through raging floodwaters toward the village chapel, certain that only a sacred crucifix can save her before darkness closes over the mountains again. 
   
  Back Before The Moon pulls listeners deep into a world where faith and fear walk side by side through pine forests and muddy cañons. S. Omar Barker fills the story with rushing rivers, haunted hillsides, strange voices in the night, and one exhausted sheepman fighting both nature and despair. Every choice costs Eligio precious time, yet each delay pulls him toward something larger than the fear driving him down the mountain. The result is a tense and deeply emotional tale that blends frontier realism with supernatural mystery in a way only classic weird fiction could deliver. 
   
  The story unfolds with the rhythm of an old campfire legend. Barker’s New Mexico setting feels alive with hidden danger, local superstition, and spiritual unease. Yet beneath the eerie atmosphere is the story of a father who refuses to surrender while there is still one path left to try. The deeper he travels into storm-swollen wilderness and human suffering, the more uncertain the line becomes between miracle, sacrifice, and grace. 
   
  S. Omar Barker built his reputation writing about the American Southwest, frontier life, and cowboy culture. Born in New Mexico in 1894, Barker became widely known for his western poetry, ranch writing, and magazine work, eventually publishing hundreds of poems and stories rooted in the language and traditions of the region. Back Before The Moon stands out as one of his most atmospheric supernatural tales.
