Frederick Jackson Turner Award

Description

The Frederick Jackson Turner Award is given annually by the Organization of American Historians to the author of a first scholarly book dealing with any aspect of American history. Eligible books must be published during the calendar year preceding that in which the award is given. The author may not have previously published a book-length work of history. Submissions will be made by publishers, who may submit such books as they deem eligible. Co-authored works are eligible, as long as neither author has previously published a book of history. Authors who have previously co-authored a book of history are not eligible. Each entry must be published during the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2024 Frederick Jackson Turner Award Entry," must be mailed directly to the committee members listed in the award's website and must include a complete list of the author's publications or a statement from the publisher verifying this is the author's first book. Please contact the committee members for the mailing address and provide title(s) you will submit for consideration so the committee can verify that all books have been received. Please visit the award's website for more information.
