  The animated, crisp diction of the narrator, with colorful use of language is what excellent communication is about !

  Bravo Fred! What an excellent présentation.  Every 3 or 4 years, our Boy Scout troop travels to Gettysburg and they ask if I can come as a “guide”. The first thing I say when we start is “I will not give you dates & numbers, except for the ages of the soldiers & the terrible price both sides paid”. I didn’t know if I had their attention one year. We finished, as we always do, with “Pickett’s Charge”. As I finished my talk, boys between the ages 12 & 17 applauded. After, on the way back to camp, I broke down in tears.

  Can't wait!   The narration keeps me coming back aswell as the great story telling.  My wife who hated history growing up has even warmed up to the series for its storytelling even though she doesn't have any interest in the Civil war or the 19th century as a whole.

  I’m glad I found this channel! I love the narration and the style it has. Makes the long days as a truck drivers little more palatable.

  Stephen Douglas had huge negative role with the Kansas Nebrasca act, but he understood well his mistake to start the USA to the Civil War &nbsp;with bleeding Kansas. So he change his opinion for the whole USA idea. His role was huge to help Lincoln after his election to turn the Northern Democrat people to support Civil War. Douglas said to Lincoln he would have called 200 000 volounters instead of 75 000 after Fort Sumter.

  Douglas in his own words reminds me of how impressive he was. Even in defeat. What a terrible year. Thank you.
