OAH - Ray Allen Billington Prize

Organization: Organization of American Historians

The Ray Allen Billington Prize is given for the best book in American frontier history, defined broadly so as to include the pioneer periods of all geographical areas and comparisons between American frontiers and others. Each entry must be published during the two-year period preceding December 31 of the current year. If a book carries a copyright date that is different from the publication date, but the actual publication date falls during the correct time frame making it eligible, please include a letter of explanation with each copy of the book sent to committee members.
