| | Ellis Wins Pulitzer Prize for History |
 | | The Pulitzer Prize is one of this country's most prestigious awards and sought-after accolades in journalism, letters, and music. |
 | | In letters, prizes were to go to an American novel, an original American play performed in New York, a book on the history of the United States, an American biography, and a history of public service by the press. |
 | | Since the inception of the prizes in 1917, the board, later renamed the Pulitzer Prize Board, has increased the number of awards to twenty-one and introduced poetry, music, and photography as subjects, while adhering to the spirit of Pulitzers will and its intent. |
