Vercingetorix and Battle of Alesia

January 20, 2025 - 13 min

Gallic Wars were waged between 58 and 50 BC by the Roman general Julius Caesar against the peoples of Gaul (present-day France). Gallic tribes, including the Averni led by the Celt chieftain Vercingetorix, fought to defend their homelands against an aggressive Roman campaign. The Wars culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul. The Conquest of Gaul brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire.

EXTRA 4.0 The Mourning Sun (Presentation)

January 19, 2025 - 6 min

Many of you have asked me to produce audio versions of each of the Denary Historical Books I have authored—a 10-volume international historical mystery and suspense thriller series titled Denary Novels. Since my Denary books are heavily immersed in history and connected with North America, I’ve decided to present the entire series in podcast form, for FREE. In other words, every episode designated with the word EXTRA is fully dedicated to the audio version of Denary Novels, starting of course, with the first book in the series. When one is finished, then I simply move on to the next Book. Those of you who are not fond of historical fiction, can simply skip these EXTRA episodes and continue enjoying my regular History of North America shows. I do, however, hope you will join me on this exciting literary adventure which continues with Book Four, titled The Mourning Sun.
