Conrad Richter
Conrad Michael Richter (October 13, 1890 – October 30, 1968) was an American novelist whose lyrical work is concerned largely with life on the American frontier in various periods. His novel ''The Town'' (1950), the last story of his trilogy ''The Awakening Land'' about the Ohio frontier, won the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.〔 His novel ''The Waters of Kronos'' won the 1961 National Book Award for Fiction.〔 Two collections of short stories were published posthumously during the 20th century, and several of his novels have been reissued during the 21st century by academic presses.
==Early life and education==
Conrad Michael Richter was born in 1890 in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania near Pottsville to John Absalom Richter, a Lutheran minister, and Charlotte Esther (née Henry) Richter.〔(Conrad Richter ), Ohioana Authors〕 His grandfather, uncle and great-uncle were also Lutheran ministers, and descended from German colonial immigrants. As a child, Richter lived with his family in several small central Pennsylvania mining towns, where he encountered descendants of pioneers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who shared family stories. These inspired him later to write historical fiction set on changing American frontiers. Attending local public schools, Richter finished his formal education when he graduated at age fifteen from high school.〔
