He served in the Korean War. Because he was fluent in German, he was stationed with counterintelligence services Germany. He always maintained that this probably saved his life. He used the GI Bill to go to graduate school, receiving his MA and PhD in English from the University of Iowa. Mr. Morsberger taught in the English departments at a number of universities before landing at Cal Poly. As a professor, he took the admonition to publish or perish to heart, producing several books and countless articles throughout his career, on topics ranging from swordplay on the Renaissance and Elizabethan stage to the French Revolution. His publications included the first critical biography of James Thurber; two grammar textbooks, noted for their use of cartoons and popular culture to make the subject more palatable, How to Improve Your Verbal Skills and Commonsense, Grammar and Style; and a biography, coauthored with Katharine, Lew Wallace: Militant Romantic. He also edited the Dictionary of Literary Biography. A specialist on John Steinbeck, Mr. Morsberger co-edited the Steinbeck Quarterly with Tetsumaro Hayashi for many years and wrote introductions to a couple of Penguin reissues of shorter works by Mr. Steinbeck, including The Short Reign of Pippin IV and Zapata, as well as to The Mark of Zorro. Katharine M. Morsberger attended a number of graduate programs over the years, pursuing degrees in child psychology at the University of Iowa, where she met her future husband Robert Eustis Morsberger, and in English at Claremont Graduate School, where she earned her master's in 1972, and at the University of California, Riverside, from which she received her PhD in 1994. Her specialty was 18th-century English literature. She published numerous articles and reviews on topics ranging from John Locke to John Steinbeck, from Dryden's and Pope's translations of Chaucer, to Christopher Isherwood's and Don Bachardy's teleplay Frankenstein: The True Story. She coauthored with Mr. Morsberger a biography, Lew Wallace: Militant Romantic, and introductions to a couple of Penguin reissues of shorter works by John Steinbeck, The Short Reign of Pippin IV and The Mark of Zorro. Ms. Morsberger's work experience included a year with the Episcopal Church's Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society in Missouri; teaching at a nursery school in Nsukka, Nigeria, in the early 1960s; and eight years as the Director of Publications at Pitzer College, where she edited the school's magazine, Participant. She also taught a number of classes on science fiction and film. Lewis Wallace (April 10, 1827 February 15, 1905) was an American lawyer, Union general in the American Civil War, governor of New Mexico Territory, politician, diplomat, artist, and author from Indiana. Among his novels and biographies, Wallace is best known for his historical adventure story, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880), a bestselling novel that has been called "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century." Wallace's military career included service in the MexicanAmerican War and the American Civil War. He was appointed Indiana's adjutant general and commanded the 11th Indiana Infantry Regiment. Wallace, who attained the rank of major general, participated in the Battle of Fort Donelson, the Battle of Shiloh, and the Battle of Monocacy. He also served on the military commission for the trials of the Lincoln assassination conspirators, and presided over the trial of Henry Wirz, the Confederate commandant of the Andersonville prison camp. Wallace resigned from the U.S. Army in November 1865. Wallace was appointed governor of the New Mexico Territory (18781881) and served as U.S. minister to the Ottoman.
