I do feel in my heart of hearts that if history isn’t well written, it isn’t going to be read, and if it isn’t read it’s going to die. David McCullough

Prizing winning historian David McCullough died on August 7 2022. He was 89. Here is a link to the full obituary at legacy.com.

I had the pleasure to meet Mr. McCullough on several occasions following speaking engagements and during book signings. I have a complete autographed collection of all of his writings. Here is alink to his publisher’s page Simon and Schuster. He was an excellent narrative historian. He made history come alive. McCullough was a devoted family man and husband to his wife Rosalee. She passed away two months ago.

My most prized possession is a letter Mr. McCullough wrote to me in his own hand on his own personal stationary regarding the importance of public libraries to our American way of life.
