American History Stories
by Eva March Tappan
An Audio book on CD read by Fred Cooper

There are many ways to study American History. I think one of the most enjoyable ways is through stories. This is an audio book called American History Stories which was published over 75 years ago.

Eva March Tappan was born just before the American Civil War and published more than 50 books for young people. Her books were written much closer to the time of the events. Unlike more current works, they are not slanted with the political correctness of the current day.

You’ll find her stories to be informative and exciting. Because this is an audio book, the entire family can listen together in the car. And what a great way to fill up vacation time.

Here are the 16 stories you’ll hear in this audio book:

• Introduction to American History Stories
• Snorre: The Northman Baby (Leif Erickson story)
• When Columbus Discovered America

  Though this book is not necessarily written for the very young child, it is effective because it allows the younger child to enjoy literature more advanced than his or her reading level. Also, audio stories have an advantage over video in that they stimulatte listeners to use their creativity to visualize the people and the scenes in their imaginations.
