Wrong Narrator

Narrators strong foreign accent makes it hard to understand. Words are pronounced incorrectly. The story seems to be ok but i had to quit after 30 minutes.

I could smell the smoke and hear the bullets

This is one of the finest documented personal accounts of the most elite unit, of either side, to fight in the war. The author was the historian of the brigade and stood next to the men who's story is told.
The narrator is English and really struggles with Native American named rivers and places, but otherwise is energitic and articulate.
