David McCullough

I picked up my copy of David McCullough's new book, 1776, at Border's this morning. Yay! I hope to start reading it sometime this week. By the way, I saw that McCullough will be lecturing at the Carnegie Library next Monday in case you'd like to check it out. Details can be found here, along with a review of 1776. And while we're on the subject, here's a lengthy Post-Gazette piece on McCullough from 2001 that's well worth a read: "David McCullough: America's Historian, Pittsburgh's Son." He has some nice stuff to say about his hometown.
