Guelzo wins Lincoln Prize again

Allen Guelzo has won a second Lincoln Prize from Gabor Boritt, this time for Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Harold Holzer won second place for Lincoln at Cooper Union.

Boritt and Holzer are splitters who broke away from the Abraham Lincoln Association during a plagiarism scandal; the ALA is involved in the management of the Lincoln Library.

Every year, Boritt's Civil War Institute gives us a lesson in history: start an organization, award yourself and your friends prizes.
