Mr. McCullough came into the restaurant where I worked on Martha's Vineyard (and where he kept a home) in summer 1999, just a few weeks after I'd graduated from BYU. He was so kind, patient, gracious and good-natured that he stands out among the many celebrities and academics who came to the restaurant over the years. I barely knew who he was at the time, but I feel privileged now to have overheard a conversation between him and the restaurant co-owner, and to have taken a few dishes to and from his table. Truly a great historian. Truly a man of letters.

Absolutely one of the best writers we had. He made history read like a novel, and his writing showed his own love for history.
I was a student when he presented this forum. What a legacy
I enjoyed this
Fun!
I have been collecting his books and have just loved them and him but I had no idea he is or was (?) a Latter Day Saint!!! This is so amazing! :)
He was a good friend of the Latter-day Saints but was not one. He came to BYU as an invited guest.
@@byuspeeches thank you for that!!!!
