David McCullough has been widely acclaimed as a master of the art of narrative history. He is twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, twice winner of the National Book Award, and has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nations highest civilian award.

His most recent book, the widely praised The Wright Brothers, has been #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, also a #1 bestseller, has been called dazzling, history to be savored.

His 1776, has been acclaimed a classic, while John Adams, published in 2001, remains one of the most praised and widely read American biographies of all time.

Mr. McCulloughs other books include The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, Brave Companions, and Truman. His books have been published in 17 languages and as may be said of few writers, none of his books has ever been out of print.

In the words of the citation accompanying his honorary degree from Yale, "As an historian, he paints with words, giving us pictures of the American people that live, breathe, and above all, confront the fundamental issues of courage, achievement, and moral character."
