About the author

Charles Bruce Catton (October 9, 1899 – August 28, 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.

'Glory Road' contains a magnificent depiction of the Battle of Gettysburg. The heroes that saved the days for the Union at that battle are depicted in all their humanity.
'Stillness at Appomattox' has the devastating account of the Overland campaign, the Petersburg campaign, Shenandoah campaign, and Appomattox. This particular book is one of the finest ever written about historical events in any part of American history.
Catton's depictions of the larger than life commanders is spot on: McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, and finally Grant.
In the end though it is the soldiers of that luckless army who suffered defeat after defeat but in the end won the final victory that Catton does true justice to. There is something very American in this story and the way Catton tells it.
A+++
Definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the volume. Bruce Caton deserves the accolades which he has garnered.
However, stilll readable and works for the money!
Top reviews from other countries
by me. It is always worth picking up his books to catch the folksy style and anecdotal reference which
bring the period to life. I think there are better books than Catton's on the Civil War but he knew his stuff
and was the best of his generation. So thanks Bruce...hopefully you got to talk to Lincoln in the big
battlefield in the sky.
