Paul Horgan
Paul Horgan (1903-1995) was an American Catholic historian and novelist, praised by David McCullough as "a writer of large vision and many-sidedness" with a matchless "command of language and feeling for human nature." Author of forty-plus books, including seventeen novels, Horgan received two Pulitzer Prizes (in 1955, for Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History; in 1975, for Lamy of Santa Fe) as well as nineteen honorary degrees and the University of Notre Dame's Laetare Medal.
