Acknowledgments
Anyone who has written a book of this kind knows the large debt owed to archivists and librarians, to friends and family, to fellow writers and historians. To single out a few, I am grateful first to Sarah Pritchard for her enthusiasm and bibiliographic guidance at the Library of Congress; to Jacqueline Goggin for her invaluable help in the manuscript division there; to Eva Moseley, who allowed me access to the unindexed papers of the Blackwell Family at the Schlesinger Library; and to Sylvia Buck, town librarian extraordinaire, for her interest in the project.
I wish to acknowledge as well the invaluable assistance of fellow biographers Amelia Fry, Ruth Price, and Liva Baker, reserving my most heartfelt thanks for Carolyn Karcher, whose helpful comments and encouragement kept me going. I thank other friends and fellow historians for reading and commenting on the work in progress, and I am grateful to Gail Ross, my agent, for sticking with Lucy Stone through the long writing process. My thanks go also to John Blackwell, who shared his knowledge of the Blackwells with me, and to Elinor Rice Hays and Leslie Wheeler for their early help and guidance.
I owe a large debt of gratitude to the Library of Congress, which understands the scholar-writer's need for a "room of one's own." To Victoria Hill, Suzanne Thorin, and especially to Bruce Martin, a large and heartfelt thank you.
A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities enabled me to travel to New England and examine the collections there. Most of my support, however, came from my husband and familywho bore with Lucy Stone and me for the seven years it took to write this book. Thank you all.
