Summary

Bring history back to life through this historically accurate and edifying program read by Jim Hodges.

The story is laid in Yorkshire in 1812, when the introduction of machinery and high price of food induced by the Napoleonic Wars, drove the working classes to desperation, and caused them to band themselves in that widespread organization known as the Luddite Society. There is an abundance of adventure in the tale, but its chief interest lies in the character of the hero, and the manner in which he is put on trial for his life, but at last comes victorious “through the fray.”

The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world.
