He graduated from Pennsylvania State College as an electrical engineer. His final post as a trade‐journal executive was with Marine News.
He received the military history prize of the American Historical Association in 1920 for “Hood’s Tennessee Campaign,” a study of the leadership of the Confederate general, John Bell Hood, which was published as a book in 1936.
Hay was the author of The Admirable Trumpeter (with M. R. Werner, 1941), a biography of the unscrupulous Gen. James Wilkinson, who was relieved of his command in 1812. He also co-authored the James Longstreet biography (with Donald Bridgman Sanger, 1952), focussing on the post-Civil‐War years.
Hay was associate editor of Album of American History: 1783‐1853, published in 1945, with James Truslow Adams as editor in chief, and he contributed numerous reviews of books on American history to The New York Times Sunday Book Review.
Hay, who resided in Locust Valley on New York’s Long Island, passed away in Glen Cove, L.I. in 1974, aged 85.ver menos
