Synopsis

Bruce Catton was born in Petoskey, Michigan, in 1899. A United States journalist and writer, Catton was one of America’s most popular Civil War historians. He worked as a newspaperman in Boston, Cleveland, and Washington, and also held a position at the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1948. Catton’s best-selling book, A Stillness at Appomattox , earned him a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award in 1954. Before his death in 1978, Catton wrote a total of ten books detailing the Civil War, including his last, Grant Takes Command .

Reviews

On Jul 21 2011, Scillonianboy said:
Very few historians write like Bruce Catton. His clarity of descriptions and events, particularly of complex, and chaotic, clashes and stratagies are to be envied. His use of language and the "common man" perspective not only reveal what it was really like but also convey to the reader the horror of conflict at any level. A very clear and concise record of what happened at Gettysburg.
