A book group met in the Damascus branch library to discuss David McCullough’s biography John Adams, published by Simon and Schuster. In the book David McCullough described the second president of the United States as one of the most influential but misunderstood Founding Fathers. Mr. McCullough used diary entries and letters between John Adams and his wife Abigail to provide a detailed account of both his professional and private life. The program was introduced with a video clip of David McCullough talking about his book at the 201st anniversary celebration of the Library of Congress on April 24, 2001. close
