The
Barondess/Lincoln Award
The
Benjamin Barondess Award was established at a meeting held December
13, 1960, through a suggestion by Dr. John McGowan. Mr. Barondess was
a distinguished charter member and former vice president of the Civil
War Round Table of New York, and this award was to be presented in his
memory. The award, in the form of a copy of a bust of Lincoln, is
presented annually at the February meeting of the Round Table
"to any person or institution and for any
contribution to the greater appreciation of the life and works of
Abraham Lincoln as decided upon by the award committee."
Previous distinguished winners of
this award have included Harold Holzer, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Craig
Symonds, Stephen Oates, Gabor Boritt, William Gienapp, William C.
Davis, Gary Wills, William Safire, Gore Vidal, Eric Foner and Sam
Waterston, just to name a few.
