Blackhawk’s account of Native American history is among five nominees for the Mark Lynton History Prize, a $10,000 award given for work combining “intellectual distinction with felicity of expression.” Prize officials also announced finalists for the Lukas Book Prize and a work-in-progress award for which two winners each receive $25,000. Winners will be announced March 19.
