THE SMALL AND THE MIGHTY Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement

by | Read by Sharon McMahon

History • 10.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

This audiobook profiles unsung heroes of American history, most of whom you wouldn't recognize. Author Sharon McMahon offers a narration that is almost loving in tone as she tells their stories. Her voice is gentle on the ears and easy to follow. Yet she also captures the drama and significance of each life. McMahon primarily uses declarative sentences, which translate well to audio. In addition, she utilizes her background as a teacher to construct the chapters in a logical order. Each story includes historical context that adds meaning to the narrative. For example, in the story about a former enslaved woman who travels to the American West to find the daughter who was taken from her, the author explores the realities of slavery and the Civil War.
