Description
CIVIL WAR] Bruce Catton (1899-1978) 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. In 1977, the year before his death, Catton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, from President Gerald R. Ford, who noted that the author and historian "made us hear the sounds of battle and cherish peace." Offered here is the original Doctor of Humane Letters document he received from Eastern Michigan University, 1972. Signed by the President and Chairman of Board of Regents. One center fold o/w VG. Approx. 13.5 x 11.5"
