It's hard to get this information from condor_history, though you can get 
an approximation of it. Did you try condor_q -l so you can see all of the 
detail about the jobs?

When I look at a job, I can see when it was submitted:

QDate = 1088535701

when the job started:

JobStartDate = 1088535703

and when the job completed:

CompletionDate = 1088535706

HOWEVER--this information is incomplete if your job was preempted during 
the run. For instance, if you have a standard universe job that 
checkpointed, it might run three times, and you need to sum each run time 
to know how long it ran for. If it is a vanilla job, then only the most 
recent time will be the successful run, unless you care about how much 
"badput" it had.

The best place for complete information about a job is the user log. It 
documents everything that happened to the job. If you decide to use the 
user log to get information about jobs, I can give you pointers on how to 
read the user log from a program.
