PAUL HORGAN is the author of more than twoscore books including seventeen novels, four volumes of short stories, and twenty books of history and other non-fiction. Two of his books are juveniles. His first novel, The Fault f Angels, published in 1933, was a Harper Prize novel. The Pulitzer Prize for History has been awarded to him twice, in 1955 for Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History, which also received the Bancroft Prize, and in 1975 for Amy of Santa Fe.

Born in Buffalo, New York, 1903, Paul Horgan moved west with his family at twelve years of age to Albuquerque, New Mexico; the history of the Southwest thereafter became a central subject of his writing. He attended the Eastman School of Music and worked in the Eastman Theater in Rochester, New York, and in 1926, became a librarian of New Mexico Military Institute, which he had attended as a boy. He served in the U.S. Army, from 1942 to 1946, as a Chief of the Amy Information Branch in the Information and Education Division, for which he received the Legion of Merit. He had the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at war's end. From 1962 to 1967 he was Director of the Center for Advanced Studies at Wesleyan University, where he has been Adjunct Professor of English; he is now Professor Emeritus and Author-in-Residence. He lives in Middletown, Connecticut.
