The book traces the settlement of what was the Northwest Territory during the late 18 th century. And McCullough has received some fifty-six honorary degrees for his extensive writing about American history. “The Path between the Seas” and “Mornings on Horseback” were recipients of the National Book Award. “ John Adams” and “ Truman” not only merited bestseller status, but each also earned the Pulitzer Prize. No book written by historian David McCullough has failed to fascinate readers. Reflecting on David McCullough’s “The Pioneers” ![]()
