Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Memory of John McCullough
When John mccullough, a youth Of fifteen, came to America he could read, but he could not write. He had received no education, and he was in ignorance of literature and art. Dying thirty-eight years later he had become a man Of large and varied mental acquirements, a considerable scholar in the dramatic profession, and the most conspicuous heroic actor Of his time on the American stage. Such a career, beginning in Obscure and ignorant penury and ending in culture, honorable eminence, prosperity, and fame, is extraordinary, and in dramatic annals it makes John Mccullough a memorable name.
