TCR Readers: Emerson Prize Issue 1: Special Emerson Prize Issue

By Will Fitzhugh

This is a special issue of Emerson Prize-winning history research papers on various topics by secondary students published over several years in The Concord Review. They include essays on Anne Hutchinson, The Great Awakening, Irish Nationalism, and Socialist Realism, among many others. The authors attended Harvard, Dartmouth, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Yale and other fine universities. Several graduated summa cum laude, and one was a Rhodes Scholar. They came from Colorado, Connecticut, Hong Kong, Japan, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Ontario, and Singapore. These are among the best history papers we have ever published. Of course, your purchase from Amazon will help us to keep offering this unique opportunity to diligent high school students of history, but I also really hope you like the papers, and I would love to hear from you if you do.Will FitzhughFounderfitzhugh@tcr.orgEssays:The Great Delusion: Chaim Rumkowski's Attempt to Save the Jews of Lodz by Rachel E.
