  • David Mccullough
    A teacher’s guide to DAVID C ULLOUGH M C WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 About the Author 1 Resources 1 Key Figures 2 Pre-Reading Knowledge 5 Part I, Chapter 1 6 Part I, Chapter 2 8 Part I, Chapter 3 11 Part II, Chapter 4 14 Part II, Chapter 5 17 Part III, Chapter 6 19 Part III, Chapter 7 22 INTRODUCTION Although the passage of the Declaration of Independence is a universally taught event in the United States, most high school students’ knowledge tends to be confined to the events that occurred in the city of Philadelphia during the month of July. In focusing on the events throughout the year of 1776, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough gives students a deep understanding, from both sides of the conflict, of the events, people, and decisions that led to the creation of the United States. McCullough’s extensively researched work is filled with primary sources, reinforcing details and differing points of view on the events presented within the text, all of which makes 1776 an excellent text for use with the Common Core standards. This teacher’s guide provides a brief summary of 1776, divided by chapter and then subdivided by section. Each section summary includes a list of Key Features. Also provided for each chapter are the following supplementary teaching aids to spur discussion and challenge the student’s knowledge of the material: Key Terms and Vocabulary, Questions, Primary and Alternate Source Analysis, Activities and Projects, and for some chapters, an Interdisciplinary Activity.

  • Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
    BOOK SUMMARY She built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct an American icon, perfect for readers of The Other Einstein. Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally―she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband Wash asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when Wash, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building―hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of the Brooklyn Bridge, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. It's the story of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts―even at the risk of losing each other.

  • David Mccullough to Be Honored the Trustees of the Memorial Will Present Mr. Mccullough with the Saint-Gaudens Medal at a Ceremo
    David McCullough to Be Honored The Trustees of the Memorial will present Mr. McCullough with the Saint-Gaudens Medal at a ceremony tentatively scheduled to take place on the Boston Common behind the Shaw Memorial on the afternoon of October 4, 2016. David McCullough is the author of ten books on topics of American history, a number of which focus on people and events connected with America’s national parks. One in particular, The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris tells the story of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and many other artists, writers, doctors, and politicians whose lives and achievements were enriched by sojourns in Paris. Mr. McCullough has received two Pulitzer Prizes (for Truman and John Adams); two National Book Awards (for The Path Between the Seas and Mornings on Horseback); and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award. In addition, Mr. McCullough is a lecturer, a frequent narrator of television programs and documentaries, and was the host of PBS's American Experience for eleven years. In the course of his research for The Greater Journey, Mr. McCullough came to know the Saint- Gaudens National Historic Site and its staff and collections well. The Saint-Gaudens Medal is intended to honor individuals and/or institutions who, through their talents and beneficence, have made a distinguished contribution to the arts in America in the high tradition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The Medal itself was designed by artist, sculptor and former Memorial Trustee Robert W. White, grandson of Saint-Gaudens’s collaborator and friend, Stanford White. The Medal has been awarded nine times (seven times in its present form), most recently in 2014 to James B.

  • Book Club Selections 2017.Pdf
    Book Club Selections 2017 January The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge (1972) Second half of the Book By David McCullough The dramatic and enthralling story of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, the world’s longest suspension bridge at the time, a tale of greed, corruption, and obstruction but also of optimism, heroism, and determination. This book is the enthralling story of one of the greatest events in our nation’s history, during the Age of Optimism—a period when Americans were convinced in their hearts that all things were possible. In the years around 1870, when the project was first undertaken, the concept of building a bridge to span the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn required vision and determination comparable to that required to build the great cathedrals. Throughout the fourteen years of its construction, the odds against the successful completion of the bridge seemed staggering. Bodies were crushed, lives lost, political empires felled, and surges of public emotion constantly threatened the project. This is not only the saga of an engineering miracle; it is a narrative of the social climate of the time and the heroes and rascals who had a hand in either constructing or exploiting the surpassing enterprise. (amazon.com) February A Man Called Ove (2015) By Fredrik Backman Ove is a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.
