Book Description

June 15, 1997 American History
"Old Ironsides". Her name is known to just about every American, but how many of us know her story and adventures? Too few unfortunately. Her exploits read like a Hollywood screenplay or a novel from a wild imagination. However, they're all true and presented here for the first time in a historically accurate dramatization. Sail aboard the USS Consititution as she trades murderous broadsides with the Guerriere, during one of her most famous War of 1812 victories.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dramatic charaterizations and realistic sound effects...actively invloves the listener in this outstanding historical drama. 5 Stars!! -- Dean Carlisle, The All Star Review, 1999

The Colonial Radio Theatre makes wonderful, historically accurate productions...will capture the minds of children and adults...make history come alive. -- Margaret Levine Young, Great Tapes For Kids, 1999

From the Publisher

This 61 minute production is completed in the rousing tradition of old time radio plays, with full cast, original music score (nautically inspired by Jeffreg Gage) and hundreds of sound effects. This extremely accurate production has been reviewed by historians at the USS Constitution Museum Book Store prior to their approving it for sale. Listen as the Colonial Radio Players bring the glory days of Old Ironsides back to life. Listen as Commander Issac Hull uses good old Yankee ingenuity to evade a superior British fleet during the War of 1812.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's The Best! March 26, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is really cool. I really feel like I'm standing on the Constitution next to Captain Hull. The naval battle is so exciting but you'll have to listen to see how it turns out. Get it. It's great fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars This has to be one of their best yet! March 26, 2002
By A Customer
I am becoming a big fan of the Colonial Radio Theater. They are really good at making historic events exciting and fun. This particular tape really is exciting and tells the story of a relatively little known event. I won't spoil your fun by giving the ending away, but it really is cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! July 28, 2000
I really got a different perspective of the hardships that the crew had to undergo to acheive the success that they did on the Constitution. Capt Hull was an excellent captain and his example was certainly an archetype of leadership. I enjoyed the wrap up at the end of the story to let the listener know what happened after this particular incident to the various parties involved. Great story and an excellent narrative. Again you are there!
