A collection of essays by the late historian David McCullough, titled History Matters, will be released on September 16. The book, published by Simon & Schuster, includes some previously unpublished essays. McCullough's daughter, Dorie McCullough Lawson, and longtime researcher Michael Hill co-edited the collection. Historian Jon Meacham contributed a foreword.
Dorie McCullough Lawson said: "It has been an honor to work with my father's writings in the years since his death, highlighting themes of optimism, integrity, and love of country." David McCullough, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, is known for his biographies of Presidents Harry Truman and John Adams, and for works like 1776 and The Great Bridge.
