 I can hear the tone of his voice right now, narrating.  Great voice.

He could bring history to life in a way that was captivating.  I loved his first book on the Johnstown Flood, and later take on the Wright Brothers.

Ken Burns wanted him to narrate Baseball, but McCullough told him he wasn't a fan, so Burns turned to former NBC news anchor John Chancellor.
