David McCullough died Sunday at his home in Hingham, according to his publishers Simon and Schuster. He was 89 years old.
Historian David McCullough, shown here in 2013, has died at 89. He wrote extensively and compellingly about American history and won two Pulitzer Prizes.
The subjects McCullough tackled were massive. The building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal. The Third Continental Congress in 1776. He wrote about epic figures, from Theodore Roosevelt to the Wright Brothers. McCullough seemed undaunted by his topics; they were fun for him and he made the subjects enchanting for readers. Perhaps only a McCullough treatment of Truman could've topped thebest-seller list for nearly a year; the biography was a publishing sensation in 1992.
