History Stories for my Son
I learned to love history from my father's stories. He had a way of teaching history, not as a theory or series of events, but as a human story about real people who shaped the world by their choices. I want to share that love with my own son by telling real stories of great and interesting people. I created the History Stories for my Son Podcast because I want to spread that love of history as far as possible. The stories on this podcast are about people who made a difference in their own time, told at a level accessible to everyone, including kids learning about them for the first time, but also engaging for even the most knowledgeable history buff. You are invited to join a community where we remember that history is a story that should be shared with every generation.

In Episode 20 of History Stories for my Son, we tell the story of a Napoleon Bonaparte. Born on the island of Corsica to parents of Italian descent, this foreigner to France who didn't even speak the language until he was ten years old somehow grew up to the most famous Frenchman in all of history. This is the story of how he did it.
