Fletcher Pratt Award
The Winner: Dr. Joan Cashin

Breaking with tradition Joan Cashin will be our guest speaker for the second time this year. This unprecedented event was made possible by her winning the Fletcher Pratt Award for her book, "First Lady of the Conferacy: Varina Davis's Civil War." The theme of breaking with tradition goes well with the life of Varina Davis as interpreted by Professor Cashin. This first lady loved her independence in the conformist era of Victorianism. She preferred urban delights to universally praised country living. Indeed, she rejected the Lost Cause and cherished the Union in the face of unbearable pressure to do the opposite.  

Professor Cashin is a social historian and gives us the benefit of this perspective of a life and times where politics and war were supposed to be the touchstones of one's being. Congratulations on your Fletcher Pratt Award.
