FROM THE #1 NY TIMES BESTSELLING
WRITER OF JOHN ADAMS
On May 15th, 2003 David McCullough presented The Span of Human Events as The 2003 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in Washington, DC. The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history.
In such a short speech, this master historian tracks his desire for all things historical to his start in Pittsburgh where he "learned to love history by using books" in bookshops with the neighborhood library.
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 clear 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 taking a look at life."
