ATTENTION CIVIL WAR AUTHORS!! The Austin (TX) Civil War Roundtable desires for you to submit your 2013 published book on the Civil War for consideration of the Laney Book Award Prize. The Daniel M. & Marilyn W. Laney Prize is awarded each year to the author of the book that best advances the knowledge of the Civil Wars military or political events and the Americans who took part in those events. The prize amount is $2,000. The prize continues to honor Daniel M. & Marilyn W. Laney for their splendid efforts to protect the endangered battlefields of our Civil War. The prize money is directly attributable to the generosity of the Morse Foundation whose many labors on behalf of the Round Table and the preservation of our Civil War battlefields are gratefully acknowledged. Each year a committee of Austin Civil War Round Table members publicizes the prize, solicits submissions, and selects the prize winner. The winning author is invited to appear as a speaker before the Austin Civil War Round Table. The deadline for submission is March 2014. Please go to austincivilwar.org and click on the Laney Book Prize link for more information.
