Excellent piece, mariella! Wonderfully done! I am now greatly interested in reading this book for sure. Maybe i can find an audiobook for it.

I read this year's ago and have been a huge McCullough fan ever since. When you get to Teddy Roosevelt on the list of presidents, definitely read Mornings on Horseback.

I will add that to my list! I am very excited about this new project; we learn a lot by reading about presidents and First Ladies! Thanks for your comment!

So looking forward to the next John Adams article!

It’ll probably be about his children! Not much is written about them! 😀

I adore this piece. I absolutely loved McCullough's biography of John Adams. The bio was so well done, as was typical of McCullough. I read it close to when I read Jon Meacham's excellent bio of Thomas Jefferson, another book I'd recommend. P. S. I loved the call out to Mary Wollstonecraft!
