Contents

Early life and education

Doris Helen Kearns was born in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Helen Witt (née Miller) and Michael Francis Aloysius Kearns. She has two sisters, Charlotte Kearns and Jeanne Kearns. [5] [6] She was raised Catholic. [7] Her paternal grandparents were Irish immigrants. [8]

She grew up in Rockville Centre, New York, where she graduated from South Side High School. [9] Her formative years in Rockville Centre are the subject of her 1997 memoir, Wait Till Next Year. [10] She attended Colby College in Maine, where she was a member of Delta Delta Delta [11] and Phi Beta Kappa, [12] and graduated magna cum laude in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. [13] She was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship in 1964 [14] to pursue doctoral studies. In 1968, she earned a PhD in government from Harvard University, with a thesis titled "Prayer and Reapportionment: An Analysis of the Relationship between the Congress and the Court." [15]

Career and awards

In 1967, Kearns went to Washington, D.C., as a White House Fellow during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. [16] Johnson initially expressed interest in hiring the young intern as his Oval Office assistant, but after an article by Kearns appeared in The New Republic laying out a scenario for Johnson's removal from office over his conduct of the war in Vietnam, she was, instead, assigned to the Department of Labor; Goodwin has written that she felt relieved to be able to remain in the internship program in any capacity at all. "The president discovered that I had been actively involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement and had written an article entitled, 'How to Dump Lyndon Johnson.’ I thought, for sure, he would kick me out of the program, but instead, he said, 'Oh, bring her down here for a year, and if I can't win her over, no one can'." [17] After Johnson decided not to run for reelection, he brought Kearns to the White House as a member of his staff, where she focused on domestic anti-poverty efforts. [18]

After Johnson left office in 1969, Kearns taught government at Harvard for ten years, including a course on the American presidency. [19] During this period, she also assisted Johnson in drafting his memoirs. Her first book, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, a biography which drew upon her conversations with the late president, was published in 1977, becoming a New York Times bestseller and provided a launching pad for her literary career.

A sports journalist, as well, Goodwin was the first woman to enter the Boston Red Sox locker room in 1979. [20] She consulted on and appeared in Ken Burns' 1994 documentary Baseball . [21]

Goodwin won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for History for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front During World War II (1994). [22]

In 1996, Goodwin received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement. [23]

Goodwin received an honorary L.H.D. from Bates College in 1998. [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] She was awarded an honorary doctorate from Westfield State College in 2008.

Goodwin was on air talking to Tom Brokaw of NBC News during their 2000 Presidential Election Night Coverage, when Brokaw announced NBC's projection that the state of Florida had voted for George W. Bush, thus, making him president. [30]

Goodwin won the 2005 Lincoln Prize (for the best book about the American Civil War) for Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln (2005), a book about Abraham Lincoln's presidential cabinet. Part of the book was adapted by Tony Kushner into the screenplay for Steven Spielberg's 2012 film Lincoln . She was a member of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission advisory board. [31] [32] [33] [34] The book also won the inaugural American History Book Prize given by the New-York Historical Society.

In 2006, Goodwin received The Lincoln Forum's Richard Nelson Current Award of Achievement. [35]

Goodwin was a member of the board of directors of Northwest Airlines.

Goodwin is a frequent guest commentator on Meet the Press , having appeared many times during the tenures of hosts Tim Russert, Tom Brokaw, David Gregory, and Chuck Todd. She was also a regular guest on Charlie Rose , appearing a total of forty-eight times beginning in 1994.

Stephen King met with Goodwin, while he was writing his novel 11/22/63 , since she had been an assistant to Johnson. King used some of her ideas in the novel on what a worst-case scenario would be like, if history had changed. [36]

In 2014, Kearns won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction for The Bully Pulpit . [37] It was also a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist (History, 2013) [38] and was named one of the Christian Science Monitor 's 15 best nonfiction books in 2013. [39]

In 2016, she appeared, as herself, in the fifth episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke , [40] and she made a cameo appearance playing herself as a teacher in the Simpsons episode "The Town". [41]

In April 2024, Simon & Schuster published Kearns' book, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s. [42]

Plagiarism controversies

In 2002, The Weekly Standard determined that Goodwin's book The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys used without attribution numerous phrases and sentences from three other books: Times to Remember by Rose Kennedy; The Lost Prince by Hank Searls; and Kathleen Kennedy: Her Life and Times by Lynne McTaggart. [43] McTaggart remarked, "If somebody takes a third of somebody's book, which is what happened to me, they are lifting out the heart and guts of somebody else's individual expression." [44] Goodwin had previously reached a "private settlement" with McTaggart over the issue. In an article she wrote for Time magazine, she said, "Though my footnotes repeatedly cited Ms. McTaggart's work, I failed to provide quotation marks for phrases that I had taken verbatim... The larger question for those of us who write history is to understand how citation mistakes can happen." [45] In its analysis of the controversy, Slate magazine criticized Goodwin for the aggrieved tone of her explanation, and suggested Goodwin's worst offense was allowing the plagiarism to remain in future editions of the book even after it was brought to her attention. [46]

The plagiarism controversy caused Goodwin to resign from the Pulitzer Prize Board [47] and to relinquish her position as a regular guest on the PBS NewsHour program. [48]

The Los Angeles Times also reported on a passage in No Ordinary Time which appeared to use highly similar language and phrasing to one in Joseph P. Lash's 1971 book Eleanor & Franklin; Goodwin includes a citation for Lash in the bibliography, though the article questions if this is sufficient for the use of similar "framing language" between the two texts. In response, Goodwin said that she had met "the highest standards of historical scholarship" for the passage in question. [49]

Personal life

Growing up on Long Island, Goodwin was a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. She remembered that her father would have her document the events of a baseball game from the radio, and "replay" the events for him when he returned home. Goodwin stopped following baseball after the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, but later became a Boston Red Sox fan while attending Harvard, and is now a season ticket holder. [50]

In 1975, Kearns married Richard N. Goodwin, [51] who had worked in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations as an adviser and speechwriter. The two met in mid-1972 at Harvard's Institute of Politics. [52] Richard Goodwin was a widower who had a son, also named Richard, from his first marriage. At the time he and Kearns married, his son was nine years old. [53] [54] The couple, who lived in Concord, Massachusetts, had two sons together, Michael and Joseph. [55] Richard Goodwin died on May 20, 2018, after a brief battle with cancer. [54]

This bibliography of Abraham Lincoln is a comprehensive list of written and published works about or by Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. In terms of primary sources containing Lincoln's letters and writings, scholars rely on The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy Basler, and others. It only includes writings by Lincoln, and omits incoming correspondence. In the six decades since Basler completed his work, some new documents written by Lincoln have been discovered. Previously, a project was underway at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln to provide "a freely accessible comprehensive electronic edition of documents written by and to Abraham Lincoln". The Papers of Abraham Lincoln completed Series I of their project The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln in 2000. They electronically launched The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln, Second Edition in 2009, and published a selective print edition of this series. Attempts are still being made to transcribe documents for Series II and Series III.
