Charles Bruce Catton (October 9, 1899 – August 28, 1978) was an American historian and journalist, best known for his books on the American Civil War. Known as a narrative historian, Catton specialized in popular history, featuring colorful characters and historical vignettes, in addition to the basic facts, dates, and analyses. Although his books were well researched and supported by footnotes, they were not generally presented in a rigorous academic style. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1954 for A Stillness at Appomattox, his study of the final campaign of the war in Virginia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for youth...and adults.
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021

A favorite from when I was a teen in the late 1950's. Written by one of the best civil war historians of the 1960's Civil War Centennial. It is an easy and interesting read for young readers. Less important is the simple love story. For an adult, it contains many interesting notes about Civil War life, action, equipment (such as shoes, cavalry swords, and carbines), etc. One such interesting item is the discussion of Sibley tents and why they were replaced by two "waterproof" tarps that fit together. There are several helpful descriptions of some of the noteworthy Union generals, other officers, and sergeants. There is a positive story about an African-American man who assisted the Union forces. It is a valuable book that will not be quickly forgotten. Pass it on to the new generations!

This short novel follows a recruit for the 2 Mich Calvary as he become the flag holder for this regiments new commander Philip Sheridan. Then we follow the recruit and the general throughout the war with not only excellent prose but good solid history. Catton demonstrates that accuracy does not need to be the enemy of narrative and I highly recommend this book for both the novice and the experienced civil war reader.... Excellent and engaging...

I first read this book as a teenager and went on to reread it throughout my teen/college years until my paperback copy disintegrated. It combines great history with horses, good writing and a nice coming of age story. I am buying it this Christmas for my son.

3.0 out of 5 stars Banners at Shenandoah
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2002
I was disappointed in this. I would have thought the great narrative historian could have produced more vivid and engaging historical fiction.
Banners at Shenandoah is very much young adult or even for younger audiences; it's the story of a young man who becomes Sheridan's guidon bearer. One thing I did like is that the account is not romanticized. Northern depredations in the Shenandoah, scouting in Southern uniform, etc. are described--though strangely separated from the idol-worshipping view of Sheridan himself.
But I found the account vague, bloodless both literally and metaphorically, lacking in description and tension. The Rebels, in particular, are faceless--you'd hardly know they wore gray.
Not something I'd recommend seeking out. There is better Civil War young adult fiction out there.
