About this audiobook

Authoritative American history meets a fun listening experience in the first volume of The Seven-Day Scholar series, which chronicles significant moments in our nation’s heroic tragedy.

This audiobook is divided into 52 tracks that cover fascinating episodes of the Civil War. Each of these short entries, which read like historical fiction, covers crucial political decisions, unforgettable people, key battlefield moments, scholarly debates, what-ifs of the war, and struggles on the home front.
