Description: DOUGLAS SOUTHALL FREEMAN BY DAVID E. JOHNSON FIRST EDITION MINT CONDITION MINT CONDITION DUST JACKET IS PROTECTED IN A CLEAR, BRODART COVER Original, Sharp, Bright, Clean, Solidly Bound, New Book A Definitive Biography - Illustrated Throughout Fully Referenced and Indexed; With Bibliography PUBLISHED BY PELICAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, GRETNA, IN 2002 Born in 1886, the son of a Confederate veteran, Douglas Southall Freeman remains one of the greatest historians of the Civil War. His monumental biographies, including Lee’s Lieutenants and the Pulitzer Prize-winning R.E. Lee, continue to be popular and valuable reference books for anyone studying that period. Freeman’s prodigious intellectual energies were not limited to Civil War history. He received a second, posthumous Pulitzer Prize for his six-volume study of George Washington. By employing a strict personal schedule – often rising at 2:30 a.m. – Freeman managed to produce such momentous historical works while also editing a daily newspaper and making twice-daily radio news broadcasts. Though a proud and loyal Virginian, Freeman and his influence spread far beyond his native city of Richmond. During Freeman’s tenure as editor of the Richmond News Leader from 1915 to 1949, world leaders, like Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower, sought his advice. Throughout World War I, President Woodrow Wilson read Freeman’s daily reports about the conflict in Europe. Until now, no biography of this important and influential figure has existed. Under taken with the blessing of the Freeman family, this biography represents years of exhaustive research. The author was allowed access to Freeman’s copious papers – over 244 boxes in the Library of Congress alone. David Johnson also conducted interviews with many of Freeman’s surviving relatives, especially his eldest daughter, and co-workers. The resulting study brings to life the many achievements and diverse talents of Douglas Southall Freeman.
