Writing career

McCullough was introduced to books at an early age, by his parents and his grandmother, who read to him often.

[11] Trying not to become "Bad News McCullough",[20] he decided to write about a subject showing "people were not always foolish and inept or irresponsible. "[20] Remembering the words of his Yale teacher, "[Thornton] Wilder said he got the idea for a book or a play when he wanted to learn about something. Then, he'd check to see if anybody had already done it, and if they hadn't, he'd do it. "[11] McCullough decided to write a history of the Brooklyn Bridge, which he had walked across many times. The Brooklyn Bridge, one of the oldest Suspension bridges in the United States, stretches 5989 feet (1825 m over the East River connecting the [11]
