LTHOUGH MY NAME ALONE appears on the cover of this book, I
could never have written this volume without the time and effort
that were contributed by a humblingly large number of people.
What follows is my acknowledgment of a mere portion of the help I received.
The earliest idea for the book came from conversations with John D'Emilio,
to whom I am most grateful for his mentoring and encouragement. The support and guidance of Mary Beth Norton have sustained me throughout not
only this project but also my career.
