On Saturday, October 18, 2014, at the 39th KATH Annual Meeting we celebrated Kentucky’s young scholars with the KATH Writing Awards. Each of the winners received a monetary prize and certificate. These four juried KATH student writing awards are named after some of Kentucky’s great historians and history educators.
