Description: THE SETTLERS WHO TOOK THEIR AMERICAN IDEALS WEST AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN DAVID McCULLOUGH takes us back in his incomparable way to an important episode in the history of America - the settling of the Northwest Territory by incredibly brave, resourceful and determined pioneers who established a community based on ideals that included freedom of religion, free universal education and, most important, freedom from slavery. McCullough, a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize (for his biographies of Presidents Harry S Truman and John Adams) and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, has the master writer's skill of blending details and observations seamlessly in a fast-flowing narrative - and the result here is another one of his books that will keep you up late into the night. To help him do that he drew on personal diaries, notebooks and little-known letters from private family correspondence. THE BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH CLEAN AND CRISP pages, no margin notes, underlines or highlighting, firm and tight binding, an intact and unclipped dust-jacket and no sign of previous ownership such as an inscription or bookplate. We have protected the dust-jacket with a removable Brodart plastic cover. It is profusely illustrated (see examples above) and, in addition to an index, it provides copious source notes and a bibliography for further reading. This book is a recommended read for anyone who wants to understand the history of the United States and the people who made thecountry the way we find it today.
