About the author
Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on July 9, 1865, Thomas Goddard Frothingham Jr. became an American soldier, historian, and author whose work focused on military and naval history. Records confirm that he died in Boston on March 17, 1945.
Frothingham wrote on subjects that stretched from the American Revolution to modern warfare. His books include The Centennial: Battle of Bunker Hill and The Naval History of the World War, a multi-volume work compiled from data provided by the historical section of the United States Navy.
His writing stands out for its strong interest in battles, command, and the way historical events were documented for future generations. For listeners drawn to clear, grounded history—especially military history—his work offers a window into how earlier twentieth-century scholars interpreted America’s past.
