We are very excited to announce that two of our authors have been shortlisted for Canadian Historical Association prizes! CONGRATULATIONS to Todd Webb, author of Transatlantic Methodists, and Ian K. Steele, author of Setting All the Captives Free.
2014 SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD PRIZE FINALIST:
Methodists in nineteenth-century Ontario and Quebec, like all British subjects, existed as satellites of an influential empire. Transatlantic Methodists uncovers how the Methodist ministry and laity in these colonies, whether they were British, American, or native-born, came to define themselves as transplanted Britons and Wesleyans, in response to their changing, often contentious relationship with the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Britain.

The Macdonald Prize is given to the non-fiction work of Canadian history, published in 2013, judged to have made the most significant contribution to the understanding of the Canadian past. The prize will be awarded at the CHA’s annual general meeting at Brock University on May 27, 2014.
2014 WALLAGE K. FERGUSON PRIZE FINALIST:
Ian K. Steele, Setting All The Captives Free: Capture, Adjustment, and Recollection in Allegheny Country
Among the many upheavals in North America caused by the French and Indian War was a commonplace practice that affected the lives of thousands of men, women, and children: being taken captive by rival forces. In Setting All the Captives Free, Ian Steele presents, from a mountain of data, the differences rather than generalities as well as how these differences show the variety of circumstances that affected captives’ experiences.

The Wallace K. Ferguson Prize is awarded annually to the best scholarly book in other than Canadian history. The prize will be awarded on May 27th during the CHA’s Annual General Meeting.
