Stephen E. Ambrose
(1936-2002) |
Historian Stephen E.
Ambrose has written numerous books about American history, including
the Lewis and Clark expedition, the transcontinental railroad,
and the Civil War, but he is perhaps best known for his histories
about World War II, particularly D-Day, June 6, 1944: The
Climactic Battle of World War II and Citizen Soldiers:
The U.S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender
of Germany. Born January 10, 1936, in Decatur, Illinois,
Ambrose grew up in Whitewater, Wisconsin. He earned a B.A. in
history at the University of Wisconsin in 1957. After earning
his M.A. at Louisiana State University, he returned to Wisconsin
to earn a Ph.D. in 1963. Over the course of his career, he taught
history at a number of universities and published more than 20
books. He also was a director emeritus of the Eisenhower Center
in New Orleans and founded the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans.
He died October 13, 2002, in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, from
lung cancer. He was 66 years old.
