review 1: Very well researched book about Americans in Paris just over 100 years ago. It makes me want to go right niw and join them though I have never been there and the people from this book are long gone by now.This author is known for his many other well known historical works only a few of which I have read. Now I want to get some of the others.Paris never looked so inviting to me before as it does in this historical account of so many famous Americans together there at that time.
review 2: This provides a new view of historic Americans, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Fenimore Cooper, artists and medical men of the 19th century. There is also a vision of Paris and Parisians, the escape of Louis Napoleon to London, and experiences of the Ambassador to Paris, trying... more to act when instructions from Washington might require months to arrive. Ocean travel in 1830 is vividly described. Loved this McCullough book! less
