Page iv Acknowledgments I am deeply indebted to many people who have given me aid and comfort in the preparation of this memoir. I especially wish to express my gratitude to the following persons: John W. Poindexter and Dr. Frank Bard Young of the Vanderbilt University Press; Professors Paul K. Conkin, Dewey W. Grantham, and Douglas E. Leach of Vanderbilt University; Professors Charles Calhoun, D. Richard Covington, Don Wing Der, Richard P. Gildrie, Edward E. Irwin, Malcolm Muir, Kenneth E. Olson, and Louis C. Tatham, Jr., of Austin Peay State University. I also wish to express my appreciation to those students at Austin Peay State University who have given me encouragement in this endeavor. Thanks also go to A. B. (Bud) Feuer, Paul H. Silverstone, and Dr. Paul Ashton for providing rare photographs. I would especially like to acknowledge my debt to and appreciation of Donald Knox's Death March: The Survivors of Bataan (New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1981), which is unique among all my sources for telling the story of American prisoners of war in their own voices.
