Charles G. Finney

Charles G. Finney was an American journalist and author, known primarily for his first novel The Circus of Doctor Lao, which won the inaugural National Book Award in 1935 for Most Original Book. His stories combine modernism and fantasy in a unique way that was an influence on many authors, notably Ray Bradbury. He served with the US Army in the late 20s, which is the subject of his only autobiographical work, the Old China Hands. He lived most of his life in Pima, Arizona where he worked as a newspaper reporter. He was named after his great grandfather, Charles Grandison Finney, who was one of the most famous preachers of his day.

Charles Gibson

Charles Gibson (2 August 1920 - 22 August 1985) Charles Gibson was professor of Latin American history at the University of Michigan, who studied the Nahua peoples of colonial Mexico. Charles was the son of William W. (1885) and Helen J. Gibson (1900), born on 2 August 1920 in Bethlehem, Albany, New York, USA. His elder brother, also William W. was born a year earlier and he had a younger brother Edward J. born two years after him. During the late forties he went to University of Texas and got his Masters degree there in 1947 and three years later worked on his thesis at Yale University under the directorship of George Kubler. On gaining his Doctorate in Philosophy he joined the history faculty as professor at the University of Iowa (1949-1965). In 1965 he then became professor of history at University of Michigan until he retired thirty years later. He published his most significant works - Tlaxcala in the Sixteenth Century in 1952 and Aztecs Under Spanish Rule in 1964. "Perhaps more than any other historian of his time, [Charles] shed light on indigenous life in colonial New Spain. While his first book, Tlaxcala in the Sixteenth Century, is not focused on Mexico City, it plays an important role in the overall historiography of Mesoamerican social history. By using a wide range of sources, he demonstrated that the indigenous government of Tlaxcala had not been subsumed by Spanish dictates, but rather had adopted aspects of Spanish culture and altered them to fit its needs". During 1971 he took his sabbatical year in an attempt to catch up with various projects and took his family to wife to Spain for four months with a and plan to search various archives looking into the question of Christian-Moslem relations, as antecedents and precedents for patterns of Christian-Indian relations in the New World. He much admired the work of French historian Jacques Lafay (born the same year as himself) and wrote to him saying: "Your magnificent, very impressive four volumes of Quetzalcoatl et Guadalupe arrived in the late summer when I was away from home, on leave, and I have them on my desk ready to examine seriously as soon as I am home again for good". A few years later he was appointed the Henry Russel Lecturer, at that time the university's highest honor for a senior faculty member (1977). In December he delivered a Presidential address at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association (AHA) in Dallas. When Charles retired his mother Helen was still living in Albany, New York as was his two brother Edward J. (in East Greenbush) but his elder brother William W. was in Amherst, Massachusetts. At the time he lived with his wife in Keeseville, New York not far from his sons Charles (3rd) of Elizabethtown, and George of Chazy. His other children, daughter Judith Green lived in Ottawa, Illinois and son Mark in Burlington, Vermont. Charles did not survive and of his family (save his father) when he died aged sixty-five on 22 August 1985 at the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburg, New York.

Charles Higham

Charles Higham (pronounced HYE-um), (18 February 1931 – 21 April 2012) was an English author, editor and poet. After moving to Australia in 1954, Higham began a career in journalism, before moving to the United States in 1969. In the United States he became known as a celebrity biographer, mainly of film stars, such as Katharine Hepburn and Errol Flynn. The latter book, among several during Higham's career, was criticized for fabrications.[3] Close friends of another of his subjects, Orson Welles, in particular Peter Bogdanovich, were critical of Higham's interpretation of his career.
