Wiencek has come to be particularly associated with his work on George Washington and slavery as a result of his book, ''An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America'', which earned him the Los Angeles Times Book Award for history. Partly as a result of this book, Wiencek was named the first-ever Washington College ''Patrick Henry Fellow'', inaugurating a program designed to provide writing fellowships for nationally prominent historians.
In 2003, Wiencek was appointed to the board of trustees for the Library of Virginia.
In June 2010, Texas A&M University Press released ''The Moodys of Galveston and Their Mansion'', a history of the prominent Galveston family and their celebrated home. Wiencek originally compiled the manuscript after the Moody Mansion opened to the public as a museum, education center, and location for community gatherings in 1991. Provided by Wikipedia
