Duane P. Schultz

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Duane Schultz earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from Johns Hopkins University, a masters degree from Syracuse University, and a Ph.D. from American University. He has written three college-level textbooks, now in their 8th editions, which have been translated into several languages. He also published a comparative psychological study of the lives and careers of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. After a successful teaching career at Mary Washington College, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the University of Groningen in The Netherlands, Schultz moved to Washington, D.C., to devote full time to writing. Duane Schultz is the author of two novels and several military histories dealing with the U.S. Indian Wars, the Civil War, and World War II. A highlight of his research on the World War II books was the opportunity to interview former POWs, who bravely and generously shared their stories with him. Two of the World War II books inspired television documentaries. Duane Schultz’s recent nonfiction works include The Most Glorious Fourth: Vicksburg and Gettysburg, July 4th, 1863; The Dahlgren Affair: Terror and Conspiracy in the Civil War; Quantrill’s War: The Life and Times of William Clarke Quantrill, 1837-1865; Over the Earth I Come: The Great Sioux Uprising of 1862; and Month of the Freezing Moon: The Sand Creek Massacre, November 1864. Schultz now lives in Clearwater, Florida.
