	1776 by David McCullough: Reviews
		McCullough's abundant use of correspondence between those who fought on the American side and their families at home tells a social tale as compelling as the military one.
		McCullough is a good storyteller who knows the importance of physical space: "1776" shimmers with descriptions of Boston, New York, even Trenton, N.J., drawn largely from the accounts of British and American officers and soldiers.
		McCullough is very good at recreating a world where Brooklyn consisted of eight houses and a Dutch church, where British military commissions were bought and sold, where Congress met in secret, and where "Sons of Liberty" such as Washington owned a hundred slaves.

	Amazon.de: 1776 (Thorndike Paperback Bestsellers): English Books: David McCullough (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		McCullough does not dwell on this event and its particulars as much as he describes the events of the people in reaction to this declaration - that spirits were high and heady, but that the inexorable march of military events kept the residents of the colonies-now-a-country occupied with more urgent matters than celebration.
		McCullough's book is about the army of rabble that George Washington commanded in a series of military engagements during the year the United State was born, in which word of the Declaration arrives from Philadelphia and the document is read to the troops.
		McCullough amplifies their perseverance by contrasting it with the suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement and fear that these men had to contend with in 1776.

	David McCullough
		David was in the Bun Rab patrol, maybe even its patrol leader, and I was in the Sabertooth Tiger patrol, which was led by George Beardsley.
		David would have been a month shy of eleven, so could not officially have been a boy scout at that time, but maybe he was there with his older brother, Max.
		David was still living in the Detroit area when Joel was studying at Ann Arbor, so after dropping Joel off at his dorm in September 1992 I continued on to Ferndale to see David and his second wife, Irene, whom I hadn't met before.

	Amazon.ca: John Adams: Books: David McCullough,Edward Herrmann (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As it was, events swiftly overtook him, and Adams--who, David McCullough writes, was "not a man of the world" and not fond of politics--came to greatness as the second president of the United States, and one of the most distinguished of a generation of revolutionary leaders.
		The events McCullough recounts are well-known, but with his astute marshaling of facts, the author surpasses previous biographers in depicting Adams's years at Harvard, his early public life in Boston and his role in the first Continental Congress, where he helped shape the philosophical basis for the Revolution.
		McCullough's research goes broad and deep, encapsulating events shaping history on both sides of the Atlantic, often as seen through the eyes of John Adams while serving abroad as minister to both Britain and France, and simultaneously through Abigail's pen as she relates the increasingly desperate situation in America.

		McCullough uses his descriptive powers and tactile sense of drama to lend his story a pungent immediacy, and he does an ardent job of conveying the hardships and outright specter of devastation faced by George Washington and his troops as they took on the better trained, better equipped, better disciplined British forces.
		McCullough conjures up the ragamuffin state of the underdog Americans - a volunteer army of farmers and tradesmen, often lacking in arms and gunpowder and uniforms, some of them shoeless, and many of them ill, injured and undernourished.
		McCullough not only provides readers with some of his best work yet, but also presents an important look at one of the most crucial moments in the history of the United States.
