The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history. \u003cbr\u003e In this short speech, this master historian tracks his fascination with all things historical to his early days in Pittsburgh where he \"learned to love history by way of books\" in bookshops and at the local library. \u003cbr\u003e McCullough eloquently leads us through the founding fathers' attraction to history, letting us in on his composition of 1776 as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning John Adams. His obvious affection for history is inspiring, because it encompasses the whole reach of the human drama. In McCullough's able hands, history truly \"is a larger way of looking at life.\"","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117057523952,"sku":"2940169931150","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169931150_p0.jpg?v=1763697452","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169931150","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
