false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg 2367 5 The bestselling author of <I>Truman</I> and <I>John Adams,</I> David McCullough has written profiles of exceptional men and women past and present who have not only shaped the course of history or changed how we see the world but whose stories express much that is timeless about the human condition. <P>Here are Alexander von Humboldt, whose epic explorations of South America surpassed the Lewis and Clark expedition; Harriet Beecher Stowe, "the little woman who made the big war"; Frederic Remington; the extraordinary Louis Agassiz of Harvard; Charles and Anne Lindbergh, and their fellow long-distance pilots Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Beryl Markham; Harry Caudill, the Kentucky lawyer who awakened the nation to the tragedy of Appalachia; and David Plowden, a present-day photographer of vanishing America. <P>Different as they are from each other, McCullough's subjects have in common a rare vitality and sense of purpose. These are brave companions: to each other, to David McCullough, and to the reader, for with rare storytelling ability McCullough brings us into the times they knew and their very uncommon lives.<P> 6376 1991 Brave Companions total:261|5:73|4:122|3:51|2:13|1:2| 261 1034 537 62 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 5 1 false Mon Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 15:48:43 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 15:51:29 -0800 2008 1 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 4 0 false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:54:19 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:58:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 3 0 false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 28 10:52:49 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:11:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 4 0 false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 13:31:54 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 16:37:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 4 0 false Thu Sep 10 14:37:26 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 14:49:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 5 0 false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:15:36 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:19:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 5 0 false Tue Aug 25 19:12:01 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 19:13:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 0 0 false Mon Aug 03 01:35:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 01:39:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2367 0671792768 9780671792763 257 61 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1160951270m/2367.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2367.Brave_Companions 4 0 false Sat Sep 05 16:39:03 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 16:43:31 -0700 2009 There are some wonderful stories here.
