Charles Bruce Catton (October 9, 1899 - August 28, 1978) was an American historian,known for his books on the American Civil War. Known as a narrative historian, Catton specialized in featuring colorful characters and historical vignettes, in addition to the basic facts, dates, and analyses. His books were well researched and supported by footnotes. In the early 1950s, Catton published three books known as the Army of the Potomac trilogy. In Mr. Lincoln's Army (1951), the first volume of his history of the Army of the Potomac, Catton covered the army's formation, the command of George B. McClellan, the Peninsula Campaign, the Northern Virginia Campaign, and the Battle of Antietam. In the second volume, Glory Road (1952), Catton covered the army's history under new commanding generals, from the Battle of Fredericksburg to the Battle of Gettysburg. In his final volume of the trilogy, A Stillness at Appomattox (1953), Catton covered the final campaigns of Ulysses S. Grant in Virginia from 1864 to the end of the war in 1865. It won both the Pulitzer Prize for History and a National Book Award for Nonfiction. A Stillness at Appomattox (1953) is an award-winning, non-fiction book written by Bruce Catton.

Grant.Catton notes that he relied heavily on War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies published by the United States Department of War in 1902.
