Tripped over this while looking for something else, figured I'd share.

Sawyer Castleberry-Backman, University of Redlands class of 2021, is the winner of two awards for her History Department honors thesis.

“’Hunger Maddened Amazons’ or ‘Bread Rebels?’ Reframing Poor and Working-Class Confederate, Female Rebellion, Reaction, and Rage During the U.S. Civil War” is the first-place recipient of the 2020 U of R History Department/Lincoln Memorial Shrine Undergraduate Civil War Research Awards contest. This annual award is bestowed jointly by U of R's History Department and the Lincoln Memorial Shrine at the A.J. Smiley Public Library to recognize outstanding Civil War studies original research.

Castleberry-Backman’s thesis also won second place in the national Platt Family Essay Contest awarded by the Lincoln Forum last fall.
The topic of the 2020 essay contest was “The Influence of Women on the Era of Abraham Lincoln.”


Assuming Miss Castleberry-Backman is not already hanging out on CWT, one of you folks might want to reach out to her with an invitation to a Q&A on her thesis.

My work here is done/ riding off into the sunset now.
