I visited Martha’s Vineyard on two different occasions over the past couple of years.  The first time was to give a series of talks on early American history and the second was to interview Tony Horwitz, Pulitzer-prize winning author.

Another well-known Pulitzer winner, David McCullough, also lives on Martha’s Vineyard.  Tony drove us by McCullough’s house, but during my first visit I was able to walk around McCullough’s backyard and get to see his famous writing shed up close and personal.

Here is a wonderful series on how McCullough paints with words!
