A fitting tribute to Mike Pride, his book No Place for a Woman: Harriet Dame’s Civil War, is the recipient of the first NHPBS Literary Excellence Award!

“As he always does, Mike Pride gives us a living, breathing history. This is our Civil War from the inside out, carefully and artfully moving between the particular story of a heroic nurse and the larger fortunes of her regiment, the 2nd New Hampshire, as well as the Union Army itself. Riveting.”

—Ken Burns, filmmaker
