Story
Ticonderoga tells the story of Captain William Taylor and his Mohawk scout Degadawidah who are charged to escort Captain Carlton Campbell of the 42nd Highlanders through the dangerous lands of the Huron to Fort Edward, where the British are making plans to march on the French held Ticonderoga. On the journey they meet young orphan Adam Cobbs who receives a baptism by fire in the harsh and bloody wilderness of New York State. Ticonderoga is a musket blasting adventure on the epic scale that The Colonial Radio Theatre has become known for.

Story
Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer leads his 7th Cavalry into the Valley of the Little Big Horn, and into eternity in this truly spectacular audio dramatization of the events that took place on June 25th, 1876. It was a horrific battle, which saw no true victors. Custer's command lost their lives. The Plains Indians lost their way of life. With an exciting music score (using many themes from the actual 7th Cavalry song book), and thousands of sound effects, you will be right in the middle of the famous last stand on the Little Big Horn.

In Season Two of Powder River, Britt MacMasters has once again put on the badge of United States Marshal and returns to Clearmont, Wyoming after several months away on the trail with his son Chad. There he finds a new Sheriff in town - who doesn't like the idea of a U.S. Marshal living in his jurisdiction but soon calls on the famed Marshal for help when the Sioux attack a stagecoach. A season highlight is a three part episode where General George Custer recruits Chad to scout for him as he heads toward the Little Big Horn, causing Britt to follow in pursuit.

Dr. Peter Blood is arrested and sentenced to hang for treating a wounded rebel. Instead of death, he is sent to Barbados as a slave. When the Spanish attack the port city of Bridgetown, he and his fellow slaves capture the Spanish ship and set out to sea, where he becomes the notorious pirate, Captain Blood. With battles on sea and on land, daring escapes, sword duels to the death, a touch of romance, and a magnificent score by Jeffrey Gage, Captain Blood is a swashbuckling adventure on a very grand scale!

Very good for the short version
I am a bit of a civil war expert. In other words I have done a lot of reading about the war and especially the battle of Gettysburg. I enjoyed this dramatization very much and if all the facts were correct I learned at least one quite interesting thing. I am not going to give it away here. I do have one large complaint. No mention of Jeb Stuart or George Custer. During Pickett’s charge Jeb was supposed to meet Pickett at the spot in the Union line Pickett was aiming at and at that time divide and conquer.
General Lee spoke about this very little, but does reference it at least a couple times. So his real plan was quite solid and the main reason it didn’t work is George Armstrong Custer and his men. Their losses were heavy. I would love to have heard that part of the battle included in this production.

Could have been better without the cursing...
What did you love best about Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization?
It could have been the best audiobook for 6th - 8th grade but it was spoiled with too much cursing for a homeschool library. You expect there to be violence but not the foul language. The radio drama was amazing and accurate otherwise! Grant it there were no f-bombs but plenty of Damn, Hell, or G-d....sad I must return it. I hope the whole series is not like this :( It seems to be made for young listeners but then...ok...this horse is dead!
What other book might you compare Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization to and why?
I thought it would be very much like the series by Jerry Robbins called Powder River and it could have been. THAT was a western with shoot-em-up stuff and still it did not have all the cursing.
Any additional comments?
It would be great if AUDIBLE.COM offered a rating system for parents and teachers like the movie and TV industry has. That way we could make informed choices based on CONTENT.

Noisy, Confusing, and Not Much Dialog
With so much great material to work with, this falls rather flat. Although a very clever idea the performance proved sloppy, used too much filler background noise, and was quite confusing. The dialog (Script) was sparse and did not paint a very good picture of the battle. With a few exceptions, the characters were not relatable or identifiable. Trying too much made for less and rushing the production made for poor performance. Producers and cast would have greatly benefited from studying Micheal Shaara's Killer Angels. From there they could have produced both a good and unique work.

So many voices, one battle!
Would you listen to Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization again? Why?
I knew little of the battle and I wanted a radio show that would fill in the gaps of my knowledge. This way I could reinforce what I already know and research my weak areas. I'd read the other reviews and the CRT production is accurate.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization?
Pickett's charge. No question. President Lincoln's thoughts, not just about the battle, but about the men in the battle.
Have you listened to any of Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Players ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to the Jarrem Lee Ghost Hunter series (pure fun) the outstanding production of Ticonderoga, and both Bradbury offerings, Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked this way comes. The latter equal Gettysburg in everything. And the previous reviewer was correct. This 3 hour radio show is accurate to the battle. I'm happy to have taken the time to listen to an hour each night from July 1-3, 150 years after the fight.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
There has been many tag lines from many movies made about this battle, but I think the best tag line from this CRT production is "I'll remember." I didn't see this coming and I'm sure Jerry Robbins and the CRT gang knew when it was written it would have to be delivered a certain way and by a certain person. Well done Yankees. For me specifically this line brought it all together. Once upon a time I used to be a soldier.
Any additional comments?
I hope CRT and Jerry keep bringing these productions to life, despite all the hard work. Now, I'm going to pick out another production!
