Amazon.com Reviewp/pstrongAmazon Best Books of the Month, June 2011/strong: At first glance, iThe Greater Journey: Americans in Paris/i might seem to be foreign territory for David McCullough, whose other books have mostly remained in the Western Hemisphere. But iThe Greater Journey/i is still a quintessentially American history. Between 1830 and 1900, hundreds of Americans--many of them future household names like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mark Twain, Samuel Morse, and Harriet Beecher Stowe--migrated to Paris. McCullough shows first how the City of Light affected each of them in turn, and how they helped shape American art, medicine, writing, science, and politics in profound ways when they came back to the United States. McCullough's histories have always managed to combine meticulous research with sheer enthusiasm for his subjects, and it's hard not to come away with a sense that you've learned something new and important about whatever he's tackled. iThe Greater Journey is/i, like each of McCullough's previous histories, a dazzling and kaleidoscopic foray into American history by one of its greatest living chroniclers. --iDarryl Campbell/ip/pProduct Descriptionp/p(Literature) Octavo, (9 5/8 X 6 5/8). Hardcover. Pulitzer Prize Winning Author. Near Fine/Near Fine.
