The Utah State University Special Collections and Archives division of the Merrill Library assisted us in accumulating our illustrations. Surveyor of Pictures, Peter F. Schmid, expended his considerable talents and much time in helping us identify the appropriate choices for this volume. The trove of materials he placed before us made our own university a valuable resource. As a result, many of the photographs that document our text have been drawn from Utah State University. We direct a warm thank you to Milton T. Theall of Weston, Massachusetts, who generously made available the frontier photograph album of his parents, Delbert and Charlotte Theall. Glenda Riley contributed excellent selections from her private collection. Nelson B. Wadsworth of Logan, Utah, aided us in the preparation of all the photographs and taught us much about preservation of the images of the past.
Any project comes to fruition because of the combined efforts of many persons. We express our gratitude to each, but we retain sole responsibility for any flaws in our publication. We give a special nod to Susan Switzer and Joan Fincutter of the Girl Scouts of America for getting us started. At the Western Historical Quarterly, we thank our senior editor, Clyde A. Milner II, who so thoroughly endorses the intellectual endeavors of his staff with verbal encouragement and practical advice. In that same office, we thank Barbara Stewart, who listened to our endless discussions and singlehandedly spread the word about Uncommon Common Women through Utah. Graduate students Steve Amerman and Jim Feldman worked without complaint on slide preparation, attended our presentations, and sustained us with an unending supply of good cheer and laughter.
It was an honor to be sponsored by the Utah Humanities Council from 1994-1996. Our association with the council, especially Alex Page, allowed us the opportunity to participate in this important cultural initiative. We thank the many communities of Utah citizens who greeted us with kindness and attention.
Special thanks to Lana Johnson and Glenda Riley, both of whom helped us take the program beyond the local level and introduced us to our national audience.
Our association with the staff of the Utah State University Press has been most cordial. We reserve our deepest professional thanks and respect for press director Michael Spooner for making this book possible.
My children, Dan Porterfield and Kate Porterfield, enhance all that I do with their constant interest, love, and good humor. As for my husband, Jayhe drove to presentations in every kind of foul weather, dragged equipment, showed hundreds of slides, and gave important critiques. He brought to
