About Historic Yawps

From the publisher's feed

Inspired by John Keating's character from Dead Poets Society and the poetry of Walt Whitman, Historic Yawps looks at inspirational people and moments in history that forever impacted the course of history. In the same way boulders have changed the current of raging rivers, so have courageous individuals redirected the course of human history through their words and actions. We share their stories... their struggles, their epic moments, and the way they reshaped the way we view both the past and our current world.
