Thanks for sharing this Amy! I’ve loved McCullough’s books for a long time. I had a similarly excellent experience at Rutgers many years ago when Gloria Steinem was our instructor for a Women’s Studies class I was in… when word got out, it was standing-room only. We have so much to learn from the giants.
This is really lovely Amy, how very lucky you were. The first book by McCullough that I read, long after I was a college student, was Mornings on Horseback, recommended by our pediatrician for the description of Teddy Roosevelt's asthma treatments, pre-modern pharmacology. Thank you for this memoir and tribute.
Wish I had mine! What I do have is the rich The Greater Journey, about 19th century and early 20th century American students and artists in Paris, including medical students--very interesting indeed and you must know it of course.

Wow! What an experience that must have been. Thanks for reading.

Thank you, Martha. "Mornings on Horseback" was part of the syllabus, too, if I recall correctly. Anyway, I still have my copy.
