Farewell to Model T and From Sea to Shining Sea
E.B. WHITE:  "Thoroughly American and utterly beautiful" is how William Shawn, his editor atThe New Yorker, described E.B. White’s prose.  At the magazine, White developed a pure and plainspoken literary style; his writing was characterized by wit, sophistication, optimism, and moral steadfastness. For his contribution to American letters, Mr. White was awarded the National Medal for Literature, a Presidential Medel of Freedom, and membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters.  In 1978 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his body of work.  E.B. White died in 1985.
