    Carson very conservative

    I bought the whole series of US history audiobooks by Clarence B. Carson. I enjoyed those covering up to 1900, but the later volumes are heavily biased on the conservative side. Now I wonder how fairly he treated the material in the earlier volumes.

    Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
