Page xi Acknowledgments Editing the Seymour memoirs has been a pleasurable experience, and I have been aided immeasurably by many people. I would like to express my gratitude to John C. Dann, director of the William L. Clements Library, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, for graciously allowing me the opportunity to edit and publish the Seymour manuscript. To Galen R. Wilson, former manuscript curator of the William L. Clements Library, go my many thanks for his assistance in researching the collection. Doyle Harrison, Ben Schley, and Terry Waxham all provided valuable information during personal interviews, and Gary Joiner did an excellent job on short notice in producing the maps. The archival staffs at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina; the Library of Congress and National Archives, Washington, D.C.; Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; New York City Public Library, New York City; Northwestern State University, Natchitoches, Louisiana; Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, were, as usual, indispensable in making available their various collections. To Margaret Dalrymple, John Easterly, and Catherine Landry of the Louisiana State University Press, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for their help and patience with me. Trudie Calvert, my copy editor, did her usual fine job in cleaning up the manuscript for publication, and I thank her. Finally, to my wife, Carol, I say thanks for being as patient and understanding as usual.
