　　FREDERICKSBURG TO MERIDIAN

"Gettysburg...is described with such meticulous attention to

action, terrain, time, and the characters of the various commanders

that I understand, at last, what happened in that battle.... Mr.

Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a

novelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men and

the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war,

without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His

organization of facts could hardly be

better."--Atlantic

　　Shelby Foote was born on November 7, 1916 in Greenville,

Mississippi, and attended school there until he entered the

University of North Carolina. During World War II he served as a

captain of field artillery but never saw combat. After World War II

he worked briefly for the Associated Press in their New York

bureau. In 1953 he moved to Memphis, where he lived for the

remainder of his life.

　　Foote was the author of six novels: Tournament, Follow

Me Down, Love in a Dry Season, Shiloh, Jordan

County, and September, September. He is best remembered

for his 3-volume history The Civil War: A Narrative, which

took twenty years to complete and resulted in his being a featured

expert in Ken Burns' acclaimed Civil War documentary. Over the

course of his writing career, Foote was also awarded three

Guggenheim fellowships.

　　Shelby Foote died in 2005 at the age of 88.

【Review】

.

"This, then, is narrative history—a kind of history that goes back to an older literary tradition.... The writing is superb...one of the historical and literary achievements of our time."

—The Washington Post Book World

.

" Mr. Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a novelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men and the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war, without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His organization of facts could hardly be better."

—Atlantic

.

"Though the events of this middle year of the Civil War have been recounted hundreds of times, they have rarely been re-created with such vigor and such picturesque detail."

—The New York Times Book Review

.

"The lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting, are all controlled by constant sense of how it happened and what it was all about. Foote has the novelist's feeling for character and situation, without losing the historian's scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War is likely to stand unequaled."

—Walter Mills
