    About this audiobook

    Written for children, James Baldwin's history of Washington, Franklin, Webster, and Lincoln brings these men to life in a way that will be interesting for adults as well. The stories touch on the little humanities of the great men, rather than dwelling on the great works and great events of their lifetimes, without ignoring the latter.

      The ONLY great men of the four was Abraham Lincoln!! The others were NOT what has been portrayed in the FALSE History, ie indoctrination, we all received from the school system
      Franklin didn’t invent anything, but stole the ideas from others, who conveniently died soon after..
      Start doing your own digging and you can find the FACTS!!
      This is just another book of Deep State BS propaganda!! Don’t buy what they’re selling and certainly don’t bother to read this crap!
