    A Bully Father , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    Theodore Roosevelt was a colorful adventurer, statesman, and president. But he always felt that the most essential role he played was that of father to his six children. In A Bully Father, noted historical editor Joan Paterson Kerr brings together a collection of his letters, spanning the years between 1898 and 1919, which convey all the boundless affection he felt for his family. Although Roosevelt's responsibilities often took him far from home, he remained keenly interested in the daily lives of his four sons and two daughters. Even as he watched steam shovels dig the Panama Canal, he wrote letters filled with vivid, accessible anecdotes to his children. Countless questions about their adventures, friendships, and activities sprinkle the pages. Always a prolific reader and writer, Roosevelt composed an astonishing 150,000 letters by the time he died in 1919. Jean Paterson Kerr's perceptive biographical essay helps the listener see this lively, carefully selected part of the collection as an absorbing family chronicle. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Snowed in at Christmas: An Amish Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    It is the eve of Christmas, and a thick frost covers the Amish fields. The elders had been predicting a cold snap for many weeks now, but nobody could have expected what was to happen next. In the town, the Englischers had their machines to clear roads, but the community just had shovels and each other. After prayers, the community left the prayer house to make their way home just as the snow began to fall. They all looked skyward, for the sky was a dull grey, laden with snow, and the flakes of snow seemed so large that the children ran around trying to catch them.As John, an Amish man, walked back to his house, he saw two townsfolk, frozen cold, stumbling toward him. The drivers of the snow plow got caught in a drift and couldn’t make it home. John knew that if that were to happen, his community could sell their produce, and that could have dire consequences for the village. What happens next is a set of events that cause communities to collide in way that could mean life or death for many. John and his wife are key to the outcome of things, but with Christmas looming large on the horizon, would John end up being a hero...or the villain? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Age of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the New American Dream, Hörbuch, Digital, 360min
    When gold was first discovered on the American River above Sutter's Fort in January 1848, California was a sparsely populated frontier territory that had yet to be officially ceded to the United States following the Mexican-American War. In the wake of its discovery, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world flocked to California in the hopes of instant riches. They traveled by foot, wagon, and horseback across the sweltering American plains and over the towering peaks of the Sierras. San Francisco and Sacramento sprang up overnight, as did scores of mining camps, and men amassed fortunes feeding the demand for food, picks, and shovels. By 1850, California had become a state - the fastest journey to statehood in U.S. history. H.W. Brands explores the far-reaching implications of this pivotal point in U.S. history, weaving the politics of the times with gripping stories of both the ordinary and the famous in a colorful, intricate tapestry displaying both the best and the worst of the American character. He recounts the great fortunes won - and lost. And most of all, he reveals the profound effect the Gold Rush had on the way Americans on both coasts viewed their destinies, as the notion of getting rich quickly transformed the traditional Puritan ethic of hard work and the gradual accumulation of wealth. In the aftermath of the Gold Rush, a new American dream was born - the enduring conviction that sudden wealth was within everyone's grasp. A stunning re-creation of one of the most exciting periods of America's past, The Age of Gold is narrative history on a grand scale. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Mancinelli.
