Bruce Catton
9 October 1899 – 28 August 1978
Charles Bruce Catton (9 October 1899 -28 August 1978 ) was an American historian and journalist, best known for his books on the American Civil War. Known as a narrative historian, Catton specialized in popular history, featuring colorful characters and historical vignettes, in addition to the basic facts, dates, and analyses. Although his books were well researched and supported by footnotes, they were not generally presented in a rigorous academic style. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1954 for *A Stillness at Appomattox*, his study of the final campaign of the war in Virginia. - Wikipedia
