Johnstown Flood… A Historical Account that Captivates

I just finished one of my favorite books of all time, The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough. I’m a big McCullough fan. I’ve read his John Adams (in which the recent HBO series was based), I’ve read 1776, Truman and I think one other. I enjoyed them all. I enjoy him, because of the detail that he includes. His research is unparalleled and I believe that he is more accurate than most history books. So when I picked up one of his older books, I knew that I was going to get a decent book, but had no idea what I was in for.
