Triad Arts with David Ford Guilford College, with support from BOOKMARKS, presents author David McCulloughFebruary 27, 2012Two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author David McCullough is a master of narrative history. He’s twice won the National Book Award, and in 2006 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian award. On Tuesday, February 28, Guilford College, with support from BOOKMARKS, will bring the noted historian and author to the Triad. The event begins at 7:30pm in Reynolds Auditorium, 301 N. Hawthorne Road in Winston-Salem. After discussing his most recent book The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, McCullough will take questions from the audience. He’ll also be signing books following his presentation.
The Greater Journey tells the story of a remarkable group of adventurous American artists, doctors, architects, politicians, writers and others who set off for Paris between 1830 and 1900, and how they were transformed by their experience. Household names like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mark Twain, Samuel Morse, and Harriet Beecher Stowe each braved the high seas to reach the City of Lights, where they embarked on an even greater journey of personal discovery.
Last week David McCullough spoke with TAUC host David Ford from his home in Florida. Here’s part one of their conversation.
