"Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.” (Stokely Carmichael). In the town of Greenwood, central Mississippi, on the evening of June 16, 1966, one of the most influential speeches in modern American history was delivered on the grounds of Stone Street Negro Elementary School. Earlier in the day, as a body of marchers tried to set up camp on the grounds of the school, they were approached by local officials and law enforcement with instructions to move on.

Sloppy
Revisado: 08-31-23
The Charles River editors did a careless, slipshod job from the beginning of the book. Early on they introduce the most famous speech of Stokely Carmichael’s life, made in Greenwood, Mississippi in June 1966, in which he launched the Black Power movement and became a prominent national figure. And they then proceed to quote a totally different speech, on a different topic that he made some time later at the University of California at Berkeley. So we miss his words from his most important speech.
They also, incidentally, gave the wrong date of the Black Power speech. So right from the start it was clear their research was embarrassingly sloppy, calling into question the credibility of the editors. The rest of the book was full of more embarrassingly inept errors.
To compound the issue, the reader of the book mispronounced words like diaspora and apartheid and apparently no editor actually listened to the recording to catch and correct the mistakes.
The overall impression is that Charles River Editors did not take this project seriously. Which leads the reader to wonder if they are to be taken seriously.

Drums along the Mohawk, Walter D. Edmonds' masterpiece, is not only the best historical novel about upstate New York since James Fenimore Cooper, it was also number one on the bestseller list for two years, only yielding to the epic Gone with the Wind. This is the story of the forgotten pioneers of the Mohawk Valley during the Revolutionary War. Here Gilbert Martin and his young wife struggled and lived and hoped.

Walter D. Edmonds brings the time and the place brilliantly to life. The narrator infuses each character with a vibrant personality. I highly recommend this book. Edmonds’ stories are also excellent. Can we get more of his work on Audible
