Description: Master historian David Mc Cullough's classic book about some of history's most daring and accomplished figures from Alexander von Humboldt to Charles and Anne Lindbergh. Pulitzer Prize winning author David Mc Cullough has written profiles of exceptional men and women who shaped the course of history and changed how we see the world. Their remarkable stories express much that is timeless about the human condition. Here are Alexander von Humboldt whose epic explorations of South America surpassed in scope the Lewis and Clark expedition; Harriet Beecher Stowe the little woman who made the big war ; Western artist Frederic Remington; the extraordinary Louis Agassiz of Harvard; Charles and Anne Lindbergh and their fellow long - distance pilots Antoine de Saint - Exup ry and Beryl Markham; Harry Caudill the Kentucky lawyer who awakened the nation to the tragedy of Appalachia; and David Plowden a contemporary photographer of vanishing America. Different as they are from each other Mc Cullough's subjects have in common a rare vitality and sense of purpose. These are brave companions: to each other to David Mc Cullough and to the reader for with rare storytelling ability Mc Cullough brings us into the times they knew and their very uncommon lives.
