}}{{Use mdy dates|date=January 2015}}William Edward Brandon (September 21, 1914 – April 11, 2002) was an American writer and historian best known for his historical work documenting Native Americans and the American West.[1] Early lifeBrandon was born in Kokomo, Indiana, but spent his childhood in various locales, including the Yucatán and New Mexico. He held a brief job in a steel mill, before he began working as a professional writer in 1938, although this was interrupted by his service as a photographer for the United States Army Air Forces in the Pacific Theater during World War II.[1] WorksDuring his long career Brandon published a variety of short fiction, essays, and poetry, which appeared in magazines such as Esquire, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, The Saturday Evening Post, and Reader's Digest. By the 1950s, he began pursuing his interest in non-fiction writing and in 1955 produce an account of John Charles Frémont's 1848 attempt to cross the Rocky Mountains in his book "The Men and the Mountain."[2] Although Brandon's formal education ended after high school, his scholarship was sufficiently respected that he was from 1966–1967 a visiting professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and later conducted a seminar series on Native American literature at California State College in Long Beach, California. Death and legacyBrandon died in Clearlake, California, on April 11, 2002, of cancer.[1] His last book, The Rise and Fall of North American Indians: From Prehistory Through Geronimo, was published posthumously the year after his death.[3] Literary works
