Elizabeth Brown Pryor

Elizabeth Brown Pryor is an American diplomat and historian. In 2008, Pryor was awarded the Lincoln Prize for "Reading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee through his Private Letters." She shared the honor with James Oakes, who won for "The Radical and the Republican: Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and the Triumph of Antislavery Politics". Pryor's book is notable for using hundreds of Lee's previously unpublished private letters to create a fresh biography of the Confederate general.
