Congratulations to Dr. Alan Pratt, the recipient of the 2018 Charles G. Pfeiffer Award. Dr. Pratt received the award at the Thursday evening banquet during the June 2018 Zane Grey’s West Society annual convention in Jackson, Wyoming. ZGWS established the “Charles G. Pfeiffer Award” in 2011 for academic excellence in research and writing on the life, lore, and legend of Zane Grey.
The bi-annual award honors Chuck Pfeiffer, a charter member of the Society, for the high quality of his meticulous and prodigious Zane Grey research and to his nearly three decades of inspiration and encouragement to Society members.
The Pfeiffer Award Committee reviewed multiple Grey-related publications and presentations and recommended Dr. Pratt for the award based on the scholarly merit of his work.
