I recently received word that The Way of Improvement Leads Home: Philip Vickers Fithian and the Rural Enlightenment in Early America has been designated a 2009 Honor Book by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
Each year the NJCH awards a book prize to the best book on a New Jersey subject or by a New Jersey author. The runners-up are designated as “Honor Books.” This year’s winner was Annette Gordon-Reed’s The Hemingses of Monticello. I will join professor Gordon-Reed and the other Honor Book winners for a book signing at that NJCH annual October Awards Event at the Montclair Art Museum in October.
Wonderful news, John, and well deserved.
Congrats, John. Good work, and a nice reward for your labors!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your good news.
