| | Ellis Wins Pulitzer Prize for History |
 | | A former United States Army officer, he has lectured at the Army War College and at West Point on the Vietnam War and on the education of Army officers in the post-Cold War era. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Among Ellis's other books are Passionate Sage: The Character and Legacy of John Adams (W. Norton 1993), a Book-of-the-Month Club and History Club selection and winner of the Daughters of the American Revolution Award; and After the Revolution: Profiles of Early American Culture (W. Norton, 1979). |
