The #1 bestseller that tells the remarkable story of the generations of American artists, writers, and doctors who traveled to Paris, the intellectual, scientific, and artistic capital of the western world, fell in love with the city and its people, and changed America through what they learned, told by America's master historian, David McCullough.

Not all pioneers went west.

In The Greater Journey, David McCullough tells the enthralling, inspiring--and until now, untold--story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, and others who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, hungry to learn and to excel in their work. What they achieved would profoundly alter American history.

Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, whose encounters with black students at the Sorbonne inspired him to become the most powerful voice for abolition in the US Senate. Friends James Fenimore Cooper and Samuel F. B. Morse worked unrelentingly every day in Paris, Morse not only painting what would be his masterpiece, but also bringing home his momentous idea for the telegraph. Harriet Beecher Stowe traveled to Paris to escape the controversy generated by her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Three of the greatest American artists ever--sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent--flourished in Paris, inspired by French masters.

Almost forgotten today, the heroic American ambassador Elihu Washburne bravely remained at his post through the Franco-Prussian War, the long Siege of Paris, and the nightmare of the Commune. His vivid diary account of the starvation and suffering endured by the people of Paris is published here for the first time.

Telling their stories with power and intimacy, McCullough brings us into the lives of remarkable men and women who, in Saint-Gaudens' phrase, longed "to soar into the blue."

We love this toy!!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I can’t say enough good things about the Pet Qwerks Pig Ear! As I’m typing this review, one of my dogs is currently chewing it and the other is watching hoping to have a turn next! It is very durable and holds up well to almost constant chewing from labs. Everywhere we go in the house, the chew is always carried along! If visits the house, the dogs come running showing off their pig ear proudly! We absolutely recommend this toy for heavy chewers and busy pups!

Love these treat rings!
My giant dogs go through almost any chew toy in seconds. We decided to try the Busy Buddy bones with the treat rings that can be replaced after the dogs decimate the treats. We love the rings and have them set up for auto delivery. I find that it gives my pups a solid hour of chewing time and mental stimulation as they try to get the ring off of the Busy Buddy toy. One of my dogs has a sensitive stomach - and we have no issues at all with peanut flavored rings. Highly recommend.

Worth the money
This is a better way to buy the Busy Buddy replacements. You get 2 flavors in one package. With my picky pups, I never know which one they want so two flavors help with that!
