Bailyn, Others Garner Pulitzers

Adams University Professor Bernard Bailyn garnered the Pulitzer Prize in history yesterday, joining Nieman Fellow Nancy. Lee and more than six other Harvard winners, the Pulitzer Prize Board of Columbia University announced.

Of the other 18 prizes awarded yesterday, four went to Harvard alumni, two to former Neiman fellows, and one to a former lecturer in a "Harvard sweep" of the prizes, said a Columbia spokesman.

The Philadelphia Inquirer took first place in the Pulitzer sweepstakes with three awards--two for investigative reporting and one for feature reporting--while the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times each won two.

Bailyn was honored with the nation's most prestigious writing award yesterday for his book, "Voyagers to the West: A Passage in the Peopling of America on the Eve of the Revolution," Which was published last year.

Bailyn's work was chosen over two biographies, "Eisenhower: at War, 1943-1945" by David E. Eisenhower and "Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference" by David J. Garrow.

Over the course of his career, Bailyn's

scholarship has spanned intellectual,

biographical, business and economic history. And

with his latest work, "Voyagers to the West: A

Passage in Peopling of America on the Eve of the

Revolution," scholars say that the 65-year-old

scholar has demonstrated that he is equally adept

in the field of demographic history.

Ten years in the making, Bailyn's work won the

prestigious Pulitzer--his second--yesterday. The

book is the first volume of the historian's

planned multi-volume, exhaustive account of the

colonization of British North America
