Autorenporträt
Archibald Gracie IV (1859-1912) was an American writer, historian, and real estate investor, most commonly known for his gripping account of the Titanic disaster, 'The Truth About the Titanic' (1913). A survivor of the iconic ship's sinking in 1912, Gracie's experience imbued his writing with a vivid authenticity unmatched by second-hand accounts. Born into a distinguished military family, Gracie graduated from West Point and later pursued a career in business. His meticulous nature served him well both as an investor and a historian; it was this attention to detail that enabled him to provide one of the most comprehensive and personal narratives of the Titanic's tragic voyage. Gracie interviewed fellow survivors and cross-checked their testimonies to compose a narrative that is both historically rigorous and deeply moving, contributing a significant primary source to the body of Titanic literature. His description of the events and his analysis of the testimonies provides an invaluable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike. Gracie's writing is characterized by its narrative clarity and its scholarly approach to the disaster, standing as a testament to personal resilience and historical inquiry. Gracie's untimely death shortly after completing the book was attributed to the physical toll taken on him during the Titanic's sinking, rendering his sole authorial endeavor all the more poignant.
