Abstract
Abstract:
The concluding commentary to the "Forum" on David McCullough's The Pioneers summarizes the critiques advanced by the other contributors and contemplates the disconnect between scholarly condemnations and public commendations of the book. Aron urges more attention to addressing the divide between "academic" and "popular" history and to the appeal of what he calls "wishtory."
