What do you know about Ulysses S. Grant?
Ulysses S. Grant is perhaps one of the most unsung heroes of American history. He was one of the crucial leaders of the American Civil War. After all, it was due to Grant’s actions that the Battles of Shiloh and Vicksburg were won. And it was through Grant that the final terms of the Confederacy’s surrender were signed.
That is pretty good for a military man who actually dropped out of the military! Yes, prior to the war, Grant quit the life of a military man in favor of living on a farm with his young family.
Yet, even though he tried to take a detour in life, he could not escape his fate. And he found himself back in the army just in time to lead the nation through the worst and most divisive war it had ever seen. After the war, he once again rose to prominence to become the eighteenth president of the United States. From his perch in DC, he oversaw the reconstruction of the South and championed the Civil Rights Act of 1875.
However, for all the good that he did, some of his less noble associates managed to get him embroiled in controversy with their corrupt dealings. After two terms as president, Grant was ready to leave the drama of DC behind. He traveled the world and met with all of the leading lights of his day before settling into his final years with nothing left to do but write his memoirs and reflect on his great life.
In this audiobook, you will learn more about:
- Ulysses S. Grant’s early life and his love for horses
- His entry into West Point and how a simple typo led to the name we know today
- Grant’s rise through the ranks during the Mexican-American War
- His service during the Civil War and the major battles he was a part of
- The ups and downs of the Grant presidency
- And much more!

Did you know that the first English settlement in the New World was a disaster? Perhaps you have heard the story of Roanoke before. Or maybe even the creation of Jamestown. But have you heard about the Spanish colonies in North America? Or the French and Dutch settlements? Colonial America was diverse, with European settlers from various nations coming to the New World and meeting the Native Americans who already inhabited the land. What were their interactions like? Was there any semblance of peace between all of the groups who called this land their home?

As the world progressed through medieval times, great empires rose and fell across Europe and Africa. However, in the 15th century, trans-oceanic voyages were allowing imperialism to reach distant shores. This new form of control became rampant, and untamed capitalism put the slave trade at its core.

Beginning in prehistoric times, West Africa has always been an incredible region. Early nomadic tribes settled into some of the earliest communities on Earth and learned how to work with metal. Various West African tribes then became adept at working with metal and were some of the most skilled artisans in the world. As civilizations developed in West Africa, nomadic tribes turned into urban societies that built kingdoms. Eventually, some of the greatest leaders in the world created mighty West African empires.

For centuries, Denmark “punched above its weight” and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.

Are you interested in the history of one of the most isolated kingdoms on Earth? Then this audiobook is for you!

Some might think of tattooed tribesmen sailing across the vast emptiness of the Pacific Ocean under the moonlight, dancing around campfires to connect with their gods, or living on the sides of volcanos. But is this an accurate depiction? Or is there more to the early people of Hawaii?

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 “superhighways” 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. In Captivating History’s History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers along with other parts of Sweden’s fascinating history.

While the words and actions of the 12 apostles can be found scattered throughout the New Testament, putting together the pieces can be confusing, taxing, and just plain hard. Names are often repeated or changed. Previous jobs and possible destinations are mentioned, but even a map of the ancient world can be difficult to piece together.

Japanese mythology offers a fascinating lens from which to gaze upon the natural world. Through tales of heroic samurai, creepy vengeful ghosts, and deities that wield the mighty powers of nature, these stories and mythical figures emphasize the importance of humans living harmoniously with their surroundings. It is often said that in order to understand a country’s culture and history, one needs to simply look at the stories they tell about the world around them.
