Wilson, August 14, 1973 Lloyd Lewis was born in Pendleton, Indiana, May 2, 1891. Upon graduation from Swarthmore College in 1913, he entered journalism, working first in Philadelphia, then in Chicago. Between 1920 and 1930 he was involved in advertising in Chicago. Lewis married Kathryn Dougherty, a newspaperwoman, in 1925. He began a long association with the Chicago Daily News in 1930 as a drama critic, a sports editor, and, finally, managing editor (1943-45). From 1945 until his death four years later, he wrote a weekly column for the Chicago Sun-Times, and embarked into the world of the working scholar, basing his operations at the Newberry Library in Chicago. Journalism was Lewis's vocation; the study of history his avocation. However, he was much more than a dilletante. A prolific writer, he was author, co-author, or editor of ten books, as well as numerous magazine and newspaper articles. Letter from Lloyd Lewis, letter written to his publishers while he was immersed in research on Grant, may be his most valuable - Page 4- Lloyd Lewis and Bruce Catton Research Notes collectionUSGPL.LLBC contribution to the working scholar. This thin volume of letters, published after his death, contains fascinating insights into a thoroughly professional scholar practicing his craft. Lewis eloquently assessed the pleasures, agonies and pitfalls of a biographer. Lewis's passion was the Civil War era in American history. Kathryn Lewis was once asked at an afternoon tea what her husband did for a living. "I lost my husband in the Civil War," she replied. His first venture into serious scholarly writing, Myths After Lincoln, was written at the same time his friend Carl Sandburg was writing Lincoln: The Prairie Years. Lewis examined the folklore and legends surrounding Lincoln's assassination and subsequent internment. His second affair with an historical figure was with William Tecumseh Sherman, the end result being Sherman: Fighting Prophet. Though additional research has dated much that Lewis wrote about Sherman, his literary craftsmanship was superb, and the book is still a major work on Sherman. Research on Sherman gave Lewis a new enduring respect for Sherman's mentor and protector, Ulysses S. Grant, at a time when Grant's reputation as either general or president was not high among scholars. Early in the 1930's Lewis considered writing a major biography of Grant. His plan, for a variety of reasons, did not come to fruition until 1945 when he signed a contract with Little, Brown Company to write a multi-volume study of Grant. Before his death, he completed the critically acclaimed first volume, Captain Sam Grant. Much of the research for the final volumes was completed at the time of his fatal heart attack on April 21, 1949. The voluminous research notes were sent by Mrs. Lewis to another journalist turned historian, Bruce Catton. Catton used the Lewis material as a solid research base from which to complete the next two volumes of Grant biography, Grant Moves South and Grant Takes Command, which carries the subject through the Civil War. After completing his Grant volumes, Catton, with the encouragement of Mrs. Lewis, donated the Lewis papers to the Ulysses S. Grant Association, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois. Some of Catton's own research notes on Grant, along with notes provided for Catton by E. B. Long, are interfiled with the Lewis Papers. A thorough and industrious researcher, Lewis usually typed two or more carbons of each note, enabling him to file the same item under several different subject headings. He also had a journalist's penchant for cutting and pasting material to fit his immediate needs. If Lewis had a weakness as a researcher, it was his tendency to entrust to memory the source of some research notes. Although the Lewis

  • Lincoln and Mcclellan: a Marriage of Convenience Turned Sour
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XVI APRIL, 2014 LINCOLN AND MCCLELLAN: A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE TURNED SOUR Author: Kevin Caprice Faculty Sponsor: Daniel Crofts, Department of History ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION When observing the relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and General George B. McClellan, it is tempting to approach the story as a common one of hero versus villain. As Joseph Harsh explains in his essay on McClellan, the General’s “role in the Unionist scenario is all but predetermined. He is the first and sorriest of the candidates to try the patience of Lincoln.”1 While these anti-McClellan histories were not without basis, they failed to realize that Lincoln was not without fault in this relationship. The relationship between Lincoln and McClellan was indeed a marriage, but it was a marriage of convenience, and sadly for both men they married too young and inexperienced. McClellan was certainly a thorn in Lincoln’s side, but Lincoln did not yet know how properly to handle a general, so rather than walk around the sticker bush, Lincoln dove in headfirst. McClellan and Lincoln were both ill equipped to handle their new positions and both did things to one another that, had they encountered each other later in the war, they may not have done. Sadly for them, their relationship became a casualty of their inexperience. I. AS BACHELORS Abraham Lincoln’s story before meeting McClellan is well documented; briefly, he was born on February 12, 1809, in Kentucky. Lincoln came from poverty, received only one year of formal education, and worked hard for everything he accomplished.

  • HI 2108 Reading List
    For students of HI 2106 – Themes in modern American history and HI 2018 – American History: A survey READING LISTS General Reading: 1607-1991 Single or two-volume overviews of American history are big business in the American academic world. They are generally reliable, careful and bland. An exception is Bernard Bailyn et al, The Great Republic: a history of the American people which brings together thoughtful and provocative essays from some of America’s top historians, for example David Herbert Donald and Gordon Wood. This two-volume set is recommended for purchase (and it will shortly be available in the library). Other useful works are George Tindall, America: a Narrative History, Eric Foner, Give me Liberty and P.S. Boyer et al, The Enduring Vision all of which are comprehensive, accessible up to date and contain very valuable bibliographies. Among the more acceptable shorter alternatives are M.A. Jones, The Limits of Liberty and Carl Degler, Out of our Past. Hugh Brogan, The Penguin history of the United States is entertaining and mildly idiosyncratic. A recent highly provocative single- volume interpretative essay on American history which places war at the centre of the nation’s development is Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton, The Dominion of War: Empire and Liberty in North America, 1500-2000 All of the above are available in paperback and one should be purchased. Anthologies of major articles or extracts from important books are also a big commercial enterprise in U.S. publishing. By far the most useful and up-to-date is the series Major problems in American History published by D.C.

About five years ago, says Polly Redford, Russell Pancoast, a Miami Beach pioneer and son-in-law of John S. Collins for whom the avenue at the beach was named, brought a big book of pictures and talked about them to members of the Coconut Grove Civic Club. His photographs and stories of mangroves, dredging, Flagler, Fisher, Lummus, the Brickells, Indians, Com- modore Munroe, and other pioneers of Miami, Coconut Grove, and Miami Beach, gave Mrs. Redford a pungent desire to write about that desolate strip of billion-dollar sand - from the Indians to Jackie Gleason. The result is a documentary, “addressed to a hypothetical visitor to Miami Beach - the new leisure class that’s on the move, inevitably, inexorably drawn to South Florida in its pursuit of happiness.” “Miami Beach,” according to Mrs.
