ANDREW L. SLAP AND FRANK TOWERS

A ny book, especially a collaborative project such as this one, results from more than the work of its authors alone.

Andy Slap deserves credit for starting this project in 2009 at the encouragement of Pete Carmichael. David Moltke-Hansen, John Inscoe, and Bill Link have all been very helpful throughout the process. In 2010 Frank Towers joined the project and worked with Andy to organize a conference on Southern Cities during the Civil War held at the University of Calgary and in Banff, Alberta, in late May 2012.

Most of the essays in this volume began as papers presented at that meeting, which produced a lively discussion of the place of cities in southern Civil War history, and allowed contributors to share ideas about each others work.

The conference was generously funded by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, East Tennessee State Universitys Department of History, and at the University of Calgary the Faculty of Arts, the Calgary Institute for the Humanities (CIH), The Centre for Military and Strategic Studies, and the Department of History.

At the CIH, Wayne McCready, its former director, and Denise Hamel were especially helpful in organizing the meeting. Beau Cleland worked on local arrangements and Shannon Murray coordinated the editing and circulation of the conference proceedings. They also produced very helpful historiographic presentations for the meeting as did Courtenay Adams, James Phelan, Jarret Ruminski, and John Woitkowicz. Presenters-turned-authors benefited greatly from formal conference comments prepared by Marc Egnal, Elizabeth Jameson, Lynn Kennedy, Richard Reid, and Jewel Spangler. We also learned a lot from other presenters and attendees including Sharon Romeo, Mary DeCredico, Larry MacDonnell, and Kathleen Hilliard. Thanks to Adam Arenson and Steven Nash who could not attend but did send in papers. Tyler Anbinder, Jacqueline Campbell, and Gregg Kimball assisted the project in its latter stages. Frank Towers is especially grateful to Scott Marler and Paul Quigley for their feedback on his essay. Andy Slap appreciates Tom Lee tutoring him on southern and urban history.

The late Michael Fellman joined in preliminary discussions of the book, including a meeting at the 2011 Southern Historical Association, and he was scheduled to participate in the conference. Tragically, health problems prevented his attendance. His death in the summer of 2012 was a great loss to the historical profession and to the study of US history in Canada in particular.
