Great Battles for Boys, Bunker Hill to WWI

Description

We love this series by Joe Giorello. I use them in our history timeline to study the war periods. Great Battles for Boys, Bunker Hill to WWI, like all the others, is so well written that Andrew calls it “Time Travel History”.

In this episode you will find:

• Bunker Hill: When ragtag colonists fought the mighty British Red Coats–and won.
• Saratoga: Untrained American militias taught British General “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne a hard lesson.
• Gettysburg: The devastating slaughter of brother against brother in the Civil War, provoking Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Antietam: The crucial invasion, gone horribly wrong.
• Vicksburg: One Southern city struggling to survive General U.S. Grant’s siege.
• Little Big Horn: What really happened at Custer’s Last Stand?
• The Alamo: Find out why Texans say, “Remember the Alamo!”
• San Jacinto: One of the world’s shortest battles and a surprise victory that won America its southwestern territory.
• The Rough Riders: Teddy Roosevelt, medal of honor winner, and the men who took San Juan Hill.
• The Lost Battalion of WWI: Some of the brave Americans who fought for survival in the Great War.
