Eric Foner, Columbia University Historian
Eric Foner whose lecture on Abraham Lincoln's early views on history was widely acclaimed in Stamford has won two prestigious prizes.
First, the trustees of Columbia University just granted him the Bancroft Prize for his latest book "Fiery Trial."
A week later, it was announced he received a Pulitzer Prize for the same book.
It was a rare pleasure and experience to attend the Stamford lecture and then write about Foner's discussion of his book in two earlier blogs.
Congratulations to Professor Foner.
