Master historian, David McCullough, tells the story of the generations of American artists, writers, and doctors who traveled to Paris between 1830 and 1900. What they learned in Paris helped to shape America from art to inventions to written works to medicine. Learn about people such as Samuel F.B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph and Morse code. What you learn may surprise you. McCullough brings each of the many men and women artists, inventors, writers, and doctors to life and demonstrates truly how amazing they were. Our very own Detroit Institute of Arts own some of the works of Mary Cassatt, James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Alexander Healy and more mentioned in the book. It is well worth the visit to explore. Enjoyed by our South Branch book club, an informative read.
