Acknowledgements
Without Clifton Waller Barrett's generosity in making available his recently purchased manuscript of The Pathfinder, this edition of Cooper's fourth Leatherstocking Tale would not have been possible. Thanks for use of the manuscript are due also to Edmund Berkeley, Jr., and his staff at the University of Virginia Library. In addition to the Editor-in-Chief and the Textual Editor of the Cooper Edition, I should further like to thank the Interlibrary Loan staff at the University of North Carolina, the director and staff of the American Antiquarian Society, who generously provided the reproduction of the Lewis Evans map, and the staff of the Anglistisches Seminar library at the University of Heidelberg.
