Marrying a Radcliffe girl in 1943, McGann left for Peru, where he became a Naval Observer and later in Buenos Aires, an Assistant Naval Attache. His fascination for Latin America did not develop at the University, however, where he majored in modern European history. After his junior year, a classmate urged him to join a snake-catching safari on the Amazon River. Glancing at the primitive spears in the corner of his room, he remarks, "After driving sixty miles up and over the Andes, we took a forty-foot mahogany canoc down the river, shooting at random crocodiles. . .

Matisse's knife might never challenge his brush, but his work is still something any sculptor could be proud of. He began in 1899, at the age of 29, and worked in fits & starts until 1930, never long enough to develop a steady style.
