Bill Brett Boston

Celebrating David McCullough: This photo of Bill with David was taken in the Fall of 2019 to promote an event for the Hingham Historical Society at the Hingham Heritage Museum to mark the release of Bill's sixth book, "Boston: Game Changers." McCullough, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, wrote the foreword for Brett's fifth book, "Boston: Irish" and the duo remained good friends. This photo is not just a promotional photo in that McCullough used photography as a way of telling history. It was through photos that he discovered the subject for his first book on the Johnstown Flood in McCullough's native Western Pennsylvania. David McCullough died on August 7, 2022 at the age of 89.
