Readings from the Age of Revolution trilogy, beginning with BORN IN BATTLE: the American Revolution. Narration by Dave Inglehart, text by William Hillenbrand, with music by Dennis Kennedy. New episodes to be posted weekly.
Following a succession of failed efforts in the East, Union forces score a narrow victory in the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland). Though the battle falls short of capturing Lee's army, its result boosts northern morale and provides President Lincoln with an opportunity to reframe the purpose of the war by means of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Fateful Lightning 3.2
McClellan's Peninsula Campaign having come to nothing, President Lincoln calls upon John Pope to lead Union forces in a fresh advance upon Lee's army near Gordonsville. Outmaneuvered and befuddled, Pope eventually attacks Stonewall Jackson's corps near the Warrenton Turnpike, only to be taken in flank by Longstreet's Rebels and driven back as far as the battlefield of First Bull Run. Music by Dennis Kennedy, text by Wiliam Hillenbrand, narration by Dave Inglehart. For complete text including animated maps, visit www.ageofrevolution.net (http://www.ageofrevolution.net).

Fateful Lightning 3.1
In the wake of the Union defeat at First Bull Run, George B. McClellan turns the Army of the Potomac into a formidable fighting force yet reveals few instincts for field command. After advancing to the outskirts of Richmond via a round-about, amphibious route, McClellan retreats and the Peninsular Campaign ends in humiliating failure.
