| Sections of an early version of the manuscript were read by Evan Alderson and Frederick Anderson, and a German version was accepted as a Habilitationsschrift by the Philosophische Fakultt, Universitt Kiel, and published by the Karl Wachholtz Verlag, Neumnster. The English version of this study, however, would not have been published were it not for the continued interest and kindness of Henry Nash Smith and Everett Emerson. Professor Emerson, in particular, insisted that the original version appear in the United States and frequently took time out from his own work in the Mark Twain Papers to help me bring the manuscript up to date, to answer queries, and to take expert care of the many details involved in the production of the book. It is with gratitude that I record his contribution to the present study. My assistants in Mnster, especially Rolf Niemann and Gabriele Werner, helped me to check and recheck references, read proof, and update the index. All important decisions in shaping and reshaping the book I have shared with my wife, who also deserves credit for an expert reading of the Morgan manuscript of Life on the Mississippi. The staff of the University of Massachusetts Press has been extremely cooperative. Pamela Campbell has been a skillful, patient, and obliging copy-editor, and Mary Mendell has contributed her designer's expertise. |
