Margaret Leech's Pulitzer Prize–winning history paints a wonderfully vivid and lively picture of Washington, DC, during the Civil War. In addition to the major events and figures such as Lincoln, Leech uses telling anecdotes and draws upon cameo players such as Louisa May Alcott, Walt Whitman, Andrew Carnegie, and a Confederate lady spy to create a living portrait of a sleepy, unfinished city as it struggles to become the strong capital of a united nation.
Margaret Leech (1893–1974) was born in Newburgh, New York, and is remembered for being one of the foremost American historians of her time. She was a novelist, short story writer, and journalist, contributing articles to the New York Times and the New York World, among others. Her novel Reveille in Washington was an immediate bestseller, and she received a Pulitzer Prize for it in 1942. Leech is the first woman in history to win two Pulitzer Prizes.
Grace Conlin (1962–1997) was the recording name of Grainne Cassidy, an award-winning actress and acclaimed narrator. She was a member of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC, and won a Helen Hayes Award in 1988 for her role in Woolly Mammoth’s production of Savage in Limbo.
