Pratt (1901-1956) was born and raised in Cambridge, Illinois. In 1923, he graduated from the University of Illinois, where a course under James G. Randall stimulated his interest in American history. He taught history in secondary schools in Ohio and Wyoming, and received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees by returning to Illinois in the summers. For his dissertation under Randall in 1930, Pratt wrote on David Davis, Lincoln's friend. He then served as dean at Blackburn College and taught history at Illinois Wesleyan University. Pratt then became fully immersed in the Lincoln field, first as executive secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Association from 1936 to 1943, and then as Illinois State Historian from 1950 until his death in 1956.
