About this listen

Untold American History: Discover the Stories You Never Knew

Get ready to explore the forgotten stories of America’s past. Untold American History brings to life strange, exciting, and true tales that many people have never heard before. Imagine a flood of sticky molasses sweeping through the streets of Boston. It sounds like something out of a movie, but it actually happened in 1919.

This is just one of the many surprising events you’ll learn about. You’ll also meet Norton, a man who called himself the “Emperor of the United States” and became a local legend. You’ll dive into the mystery of the lost colony of Roanoke, a settlement that seemingly vanished without a trace. Discover secret societies that worked behind closed doors, learn about the Ghost Army that fooled the enemy in World War II, and hear the stories of brave women in the Wild West who took on incredible challenges. Each story will help you see America’s history in a whole new way.

Here’s just a taste of what’s inside:

  • The spooky meetings of the Hellfire Club
  • The sad and powerful story of Igbo Landing
  • The rise and disappearance of the Roanoke Colony
  • How Jermain Loguen helped enslaved people escape to freedom
  • The funny and strange rules made by Emperor Norton
  • How Native American warriors defeated General Custer’s soldiers
  • The Greenwood district, where African Americans built a strong and successful community before tragedy struck

These stories will take you back in time and help you understand just how rich and interesting America’s history really is. Untold American History is the perfect audiobook for anyone who wants to discover the amazing stories that don’t always make it into the history books.
