This cultural history explores the significance of sound in early America, revealing how natural and human-made noises—from thunder to drums—shaped identities and community bonds from 1600 to 1770. Richard Cullen Rath examines how diverse groups, including European Americans, Native Americans, and African Americans, interpreted and expressed their beliefs through sound, highlighting its role in asserting authority and community cohesion. The audiobook offers a vivid portrayal of a world where hearing was essential in shaping social and cultural life long before the dominance of visual culture.
