Author: Jim Stempel
Narrator: Stephen Bowlby
In late December 1776, the American War of Independence appeared to be on its last legs. General George Washington’s continental forces had been reduced to a shadow of their former strength, and the British Army had chased them across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and George Washington responded to this crisis with astonishing audacity. On Christmas night 1776, he recrossed the Delaware as a nor’easter churned up the coast, burying his small detachment under howling sheets of snow and ice. Undaunted, they attacked a Hessian brigade at Trenton, New Jersey, taking the German auxiliaries by complete surprise.

Author: Cory O’Brien
Narrator: Cory O’Brien
Prepare to Be Beaked by the Majestic Eagle of History. Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O’Brien, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America’s history what it is: one long violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O’Brien reminds us that: Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest. Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. And there’s plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.

Author: Cassandra A. Good
Narrator: Courtney Patterson
Award-winning historian Cassandra A. Good shows how the outspoken stepgrandchildren of George Washington played an overlooked but important role in the development of American society and politics from the Revolution to the Civil War. While it’s widely known in America that George and Martha Washington never had children of their own, few are aware that they raised numerous children together. In First Family, we see Washington as a father figure, as well as meet the children he helped raise and trace their complicated roles in American history. The children of Martha Washington’s son by her first marriage-Eliza, Patty, Nelly and Wash Custis-were born into life in the public eye.
