Page vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS No project of this scope and complexity can be done without the assistance of many people, and no acknowledgments can adequately credit everyone who deserves appreciation. Among those who simply must receive special mention, however, are Mary Page Stegner, who has been gracious, generous, and supporting throughout this book's preparation, and Dick Etulain, who not only provided enthusiasm and assistance for a tribute to Wallace Stegner from its earliest stages but also suggested contributors and even the book's title. Second only to Dick is Bill Farr, who, as director of the University of Montana's Center for the Rocky Mountain West, not only embraced the idea of a special symposium in tribute to Wally Stegner but who financed the symposium and then urged publication of this book. Next only to Dick Etulain and Bill Farr in unwavering encouragement has been David Holtby, editor of the University of New Mexico Press.
