We’ve lost a treasure in David McCullough. Reading his works or hearing his voice, it’s as if America’s grandfather is speaking directly at you. We’re blessed for his time here, and for the legacy that his work is to both history and the future. Thank you, Mr. McCullough.
The mini series of John Adams which David McCollough was a supervisor is truly amazing. Adams was such a statesman
I read his book about John Adams. It was an excellent book. And I had watched 1776 on Broadway. John Adams truly was one of the Founding Fathers of this country 🇺🇸. R.I.P David McCullough
As a descendant of John Adams, I am proud of my heritage
David McCullough is an amazing Historical author. We do not teach history to our children correctly to peak their interest enough. Using some of Mr. McCullough,s works would give a fuller insight to historical learning of students.
David McCullough's biography of Adams is brilliant. He has long been my favorite President/Founding Father, and he deserves so much more recognition than he has received. Mc Cullough is one of the very best historians. I've read most of his work and I've never been disappointed.
Adams is often overlooked and one of my favorite Presidents. The country was on the verge of falling apart, and if it was not for Adams being a moderate and realizing that both sides can have good points was the glue that held us together at a crucial point in our history when everything could have fallen apart. Adams believed in doing what was right, which led him to defend those British troops shortly after the Boston Massacre, fight for freedom from Great Britain, and understand the importance of being friendly with the British after separation. This would be a man that many who try to tear down our founders based on the morals of today would find hard to do so. The man owned any slaves, and his wife Abigal, besides being his wife and best friend, was treated as his equal and one he sought guidance from throughout their lives together. She makes true the saying behind every great man is a great woman, and I suggest that people read the letters between the two.
The mini series John Adams was wonderful. He has become one of my heroes...
AUGUST 9, 2022 God BLESS DAVID McCullough for bringing our Founding Fathers into the light. Had American kids been taught by such a brilliant and descriptive teacher of History---- we would't have young people who are so ignorant of America's Rich and fascinating path to the Constitution! Real history is much more exciting than tech gizmos--- Mr. McCullough was a great Treasure--- we have his narration, and his books--Turn off the Tv and give thanks for this dear, Great Writer!
David McCullough inspired my enduring fascination with American History. His capacity to humanize the characters which formed that history justifies his Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Rest in peace David McCullough. I have read his books on Truman, Adams, and Roosevelt. Excellent historian. I might add that when Adams and Jefferson dies on July 4th, John Quincy Adams was president.
Thank you so much for reposting this and helping us remember and celebrate a very great man David McCullough
Totally agree...the most underrated and underappreciated of the Founding Fathers.
Quincy, MA has done a great job to honor John and John Quincy Adams. David McCullough brought history to life. May he rest in peace.
I seriously wish more people across the world knew more about John Adams!
David McCullough was one of the best communicators of history to the wider public in all of American history. He wrote for the eye and the ear to the effect that one felt keenly the spirit of the times in which his subjects lived.
How odd, to hear the tune, "Rule Britannia" on fife and drums during the ending of the interview, while discussing the deaths of Jefferson and Adams occurring on July the Fourth 1826. R.I.P. David McCullough.
The best historic novel I have ever read. John and Abigail Adams were so ahead of their times.
His voice is captivating
One of my favorites books-John Adams by David McCullough-a brilliant author of American history. He makes John Adams come alive.
