Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Brooks Donohue Simpson (born August 4, 1957) is an American historian and an ASU Foundation Professor of History at Arizona State University, specializing in American political and military history, especially the American Civil War and Reconstruction eras and the American presidency.
Early life and education
Simpson was born in 1957 in Freeport, New York. He grew up in Seaford, New York, and Cold Spring Harbor, New York. Educated at the Phillips Exeter Academy, he graduated in 1975; four years later he graduated from the University of Virginia. Receiving his M.A. in history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1982, he earned his PhD in 1989.
Career
After working three years as an assistant editor for The Papers of Andrew Johnson, based at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Simpson joined the faculty at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1987. Three years later, in 1990, he migrated west to Arizona State University, where he presently teaches. Currently he divides his time between Barrett, The Honors College at ASU and the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. Шаблон:External media Simpson is the author of six books, the coauthor of two more, and the editor or coeditor of eight other books. He is perhaps best known for his work on Ulysses S. Grant, including Let Us Have Peace: Ulysses S. Grant and the Politics of War and Reconstruction, 1861-1868 (1991), and Ulysses S. Grant: Triumph over Adversity, 1822-1865 (2000). The latter was a New York Times Notable Book and a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2000.[1] He has appeared several times on C-SPAN, as well as on PBS's American Experience.[2] In 2009 the U.S. State Department asked him to travel to Turkey for two weeks to lecture on Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama in historical context.
Blogging
After serving four years as one of the contributors to the prize-winning "Civil Warriors" blog,[3] in late 2010, Simpson started his own blog, "Crossroads", where he discusses the American Civil War and offers critiques of negationist neo-Confederate and Lost Cause claims regarding the war.[4]
Personal life
Simpson is descended from Richard Denton, a reverend from Yorkshire, England.[5]
