Farewell To a Great Historian and Teacher
“History, really, is an extension of life. It enlarges and intensifies the experience of being alive, like poetry and art or music.”—David McCullough
RIP and thank you for all the wonderful history.

His Truman bio was beyond wonderful, plus what a voice. RIP Sir!
“History is about people. It’s not about dates, quotations, provisios, and so forth, it’s about people. History is human.”
Mr McCullough certainly had a way of making history come alive in the narratives he built. I have his John Adams, 1776, and The Pioneers books. All great reads and very educational. Vale.
