More on MacKinlay Kantor
Description from Wikipedia:
MacKinlay Kantor (February 4, 1904–October 11, 1977) was an American novelist and screenwriter who won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1956 for his novel Andersonville.
Kantor was born in Webster City, Iowa. He published his first poem at the age of 17, and at 18 he won a state story writing contest. His first novel, Diversey, was about Chicago gangsters and was written in 1928, when the subject matter was contemporary. In the 1930s, Kantor first wrote about the American Civil War with his novel Long Remember. Kantor had spoken with Civil War veterans when he was young, and he was an avid collector of first-hand narratives. Long Remember is one of the first realistic novels about the Civil War.
Kantor's long narrative poem in blank verse, Glory for Me, published as a novella in 1945, provided the basis of the Academy Award winning film The Best Years of Our Lives.
In 1955, Kantor wrote the grimly realistic and harrowing Andersonville, a novel about the infamous Confederate prisoner of war camp in the Civil War.
He wrote over 30 novels in his lifetime, and he returned to the theme of the Civil War frequently, including Gettysburg, If the South Had Won the Civil War and Lee and Grant at Appomattox. His last novel was 1975's Valley Forge. However, Kantor was by no means confined to historical fiction. A strong political conservative, Kantor co-wrote with Air Force General Curtis LeMay the latter's autobiography Mission with LeMay (1965).
In his 2007 interview with Oprah Winfrey, author Cormac McCarthy cited Kantor as a literary predecessor in the sparing use of punctuation.
