The #1 bestseller that tells the remarkable story of the generations of American artists, writers, and doctors who traveled to Paris, the intellectual, scientific, and artistic capital of the western world, fell in love with the city and its people, and changed America through what they learned, told by America's master historian, David McCullough. Not all pioneers went west. In The Greater Journey, David McCullough tells the enthralling, inspiring--and until now, untold--story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, and others who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, hungry to learn and to excel in their work. What they achieved would profoundly alter American history. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, whose encounters with black students at the Sorbonne inspired him to become the most powerful voice for abolition in the US Senate. Friends James Fenimore Cooper and Samuel F. B. Morse worked unrelentingly every day in Paris, Morse not only painting what would be his masterpiece, but also bringing home his momentous idea for the telegraph. Harriet Beecher Stowe traveled to Paris to escape the controversy generated by her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Three of the greatest American artists ever--sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent--flourished in Paris, inspired by French masters. Almost forgotten today, the heroic American ambassador Elihu Washburne bravely remained at his post through the Franco-Prussian War, the long Siege of Paris, and the nightmare of the Commune. His vivid diary account of the starvation and suffering endured by the people of Paris is published here for the first time. Telling their stories with power and intimacy, McCullough brings us into the lives of remarkable men and women who, in Saint-Gaudens' phrase, longed "to soar into the blue."Binding Type: Paperback

Best most adorable dog toy
So Ivy and Archie got married they are therapy dogs at an assisted living and Jackson was the best man. We fashioned the box with a ribbon around Jackson’s neck but he was too interested in playing with the box for it too last. While the pastor was officiating the wedding the groom did eat the top of the ring off but we snagged it for the bride to wear on her wrist! This dog toy was the best prop ever so adorable well made and authentic! I highly recommend this toy as a prop for a dog wedding !!

If Your Dog Wants to Tie the Knot
This is about the only diamond ring toy of its type, for a dog, that I have been able to find, and it filled the need perfectly. I would have given it 5 stars, but I thought that the price was a few dollars higher than necessary. I needed it quickly though, and it was delivered in rural Tennessee within 48 hours. It's a 2 part dog toy that probably wouldn't hold up especially well if your dog is rough on stuffy toys. My girl is gentle, and it doesn't have any squeakers in it, so it will last. I imagine it will wash well in a garment bag, although I haven't done that yet.
If your dog wants to tie the knot, this is the ring for you.
