Amon!: The Ultimate Texan

De: Dave Lieber

Narrado por: Tyler Cox

In the first half of the 20th century, Amon G. Carter Sr. was a Texas powerhouse. He was "Mr. Fort Worth" and the King of West Texas. He owned the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the state's largest newspaper. And he created one of America's first radio stations (1922) and one of the earliest TV stations (1948). He was a real-life Citizen Kane.

Flashy, often impulsive and with only an eighth-grade education, he lured a trillion dollars' worth of business to his beloved state. He worked to improve living conditions for everyone.

In this new audiobook, a companion to the new theatrical production of the same name, Carter tells how he built one of the great media empires of the land - and what he did with it. This historically-accurate fun and funny audiobook tells the real stories behind the legend.

Amon Carter is one of the biggest personalities to ever walk the hills and plains of vast Texas. Most don't know his stories. In this new work, you'll learn the true story in a fun way. Dave Lieber, the author and playwright, has worked as a Texas newspaper columnist for more than 25 years - first at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and now at The Dallas Morning News, where he serves as “The Watchdog” investigative columnist.

This is Dave's eighth book. He’s also a certified professional speaker, one of only a thousand in the world. Learn more at DaveLieber.org.

Love this, but want more!

I really enjoyed this book. I'm a life long Texan and loved this performance. So many questions on all the subjects that were mentioned. I was left wanting more.

Incredibly fun and entertaining!

Heard this first on the Mark Davis Show and wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ll say it was an enjoyable listen with great stories and I’ll definitely listen to it again.

Amon brought back to life

The story written by Dave Lieber is wonderfully brought to life by Tyler Cox. Within moments I was enthralled and felt like Amon was talking directly to me. Definitely time well spent.

Texas and Fort Worth lovers

The audio is like listening to the play. This is a fast paced and funny first person story about Amon Carter. You will find out much about Amon Carter and Fort Worth while being entertained.

An amazing read well worth it

Enjoyed the wicked humor, the beautiful story telling using time travel to recreate key moments, and the excellent narration. Time well spent.

Horrible Narrator Save your $$

It might be cheap but it’s the worst performance I’ve every heard on audio, I have over 1500 books on my iPhone. I was hoping this book was going to be something decent to listen to, but save yourself
