Burton Jesse Hendrick (1870–1949), born in New Haven, Connecticut, was an American author. While attending Yale University, Hendrick was editor of both The Yale Courant and The Yale Literary Magazine. He received his BA in 1895 and his master's in 1897 from Yale. After completing his degree work, Hendrick became editor of the New Haven Morning News. In 1905, after writing for ''The New York Evening Post'' and The New York Sun, Hendrick left newspapers and became a "muckraker" writing for McClure's Magazine. His "The Story of Life-Insurance" exposé appeared in McClure's in 1906. Following his career at McClure's, Hendrick went to work in 1913 at Walter Hines Page's ''World's Work'' magazine as an associate editor. In 1919, Hendrick began writing biographies, when he was the ghostwriter of Ambassador Morgenthau's Story for Henry Morgenthau, Sr.. He won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for History for ''The Victory at Sea'' which he co-authored with William Sowden Sims, the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for ''The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page'', and the 1929 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for ''The Training of An American''.〔 In 1919 Hendrick published the ''Age of Big Business'', using a series of individual biographies to create an enthusiastic look at the foundation of the corporation in America and the rapid rise of the United States as a world power. After completing the commissioned biography of Andrew Carnegie, Hendrick turned to writing group biographies. There is an obvious gap in the later works published by Hendrick between 1940 and 1946, which is explained by his work on a biography on Andrew Mellon. which was commissioned by the Mellon family, but never published. At the time of his death, Hendrick was working on a biography of Louise Whitfield Carnegie, the wife of Andrew Carnegie.〔 ==Books== *1919 ''Ambassador Morgenthau's Story'' *1921 ''Age of Big Business'' *1923 ''Life and Letters of Walter H Page'' *1923 ''The Jews in America'' *1924 ''Biography of William Crawford Gorgas'' *1928 ''The Training Of An American: The Earlier Life and Letters of Walter H Page'' *1932 ''The Life of Andrew Carnegie'' *1935 ''The Lees of Virginia: Biography of a Family'' *1937 ''Bulwark of the Republic, A Biography of the Constitution'' *1939 ''Statesmen of the Lost Cause: Jefferson Davis and his Cabinet'' *1946 ''Lincoln's War Cabinet'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burton J.
