That’s a shame.
A brilliant author!
now THAT is a loss
I read the following David McCullough books:
1776
The Wright Brothers
The Path Between the Seas
I have seen the John Adams miniseries but have not read the book.
Always liked the John Adams and Civil War documentaries he was part of.
Read his book, “The Great Bridge” about building the Brooklyn bridge. Really great read. Interesting details about the engineering and the process.
He portrayed Truman as a real, everyday American. Hardworking, plainspoken widwestern farmer, faithful Christian, loyal husband, entrepreneur and at same time, educated, classical pianist - He did a great job representing Truman as the ethos and energy of late 19th century America.
According to some though, McCullough trod very lightly on Truman’s corrupt political connections to the Thomas Pendergrast machine.
RIP.
Another great American is gone.
“Path Between the Seas” is a fave of mine. RIP.
I am 74. It is my fondest wish to throw Sniffer and the Ho out of office. I am afraid I will not make it.
I loved his work.
Here is David McCullough telling the story of the Panama Canal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzJRUAeF5o0
Truly a loss. Have read - and re-read - many of his books. Those of us who love REAL history will miss him.
Memory Eternal!!!!
David McCullough was a national treasure.
He will be greatly missed.
RIP
RIP to a brilliant historian.
RIP, Mr. McCullough.
