Sketches in History | Surrounded

from 15-Minute History · host 15-Minute History Podcast

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story, it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!In this episode, Lottie finds a dented olive-green tin on her grandfather's desk, cold to the touch, with a folded note tucked underneath in careful pencil handwriting: "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." In this episode, your kids will discover what it means to keep moving when the temperature drops to thirty below, why a calm joke in the middle of a disaster can hold an entire army together, and how the kind of discipline that wins a battle in the Korean mountains is the same discipline you can build in your own life, one decision at a time.Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday.
