Brave Companions: Portraits in History
This is a collection of McCullough's essays mostly about prominent figures and interesting folks. Topics include, but are not limited to:
German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt
19th-century scientist and educator Louis Agassiz
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin
Theodore Roosevelt and the Marquis de Mores as relates their time in North Dakota in the 1880s
Western artist Frederic Remington
Construction of the original Panama Railway in the 1850s
Engineer John A. Roebling and his son, Washington Roebling, architects of the Brooklyn Bridge
Early aviators Charles Lindbergh, Antoine de Saint Exupéry, and Beryl Markham
American author Conrad Richter
Author and anti-strip mining political activist Harry M. Caudill
English zoologist and entomologist Miriam Rothschild
American photographer David Plowden
Overall, it's a bit of a mixed bag and you never get your teeth into a subject herein quite like you do in other McCullough books. All the same, I love the man's stuff and this isn't bad at all. It would make a great primer for those who want to be exposed to some historical personages who they perhaps have not discovered yet.
