Congratulations to Edward Rugemer for winning the 2009 Avery O. Craven Award of the Organization of American Historians for his book The Problem of Emancipation: The Caribbean Roots of the American Civil War, published by LSU Press.  The award, first given in 1985, is presented annually by the OAH for the most original book on the coming of the Civil War, the Civil War years, or the Era of Reconstruction, with the exception of works of purely military history.  The exception recognizes and reflects the Quaker convictions of Craven, OAH President 1963-64.
