ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to thank Joyce Giaquinta, past manuscripts librarian at the Iowa State Historical Society, for first showing me the Gillespie diary. The late David Kinnett of the society continued to care for the Gillespie Papers and was invaluable in gaining permission from the Iowa State Historical Society for use of the diary in this study. Mary Bennett in Manuscripts continues the legacy of cooperation and enthusiasm for research into the Gillespie diary. Assistance in historical research about Michigan came from LeRoy Barnett, reference archivist at the Michigan Historical Division, East Lansing, and Bernard A. Margolis of the Monroe County Library System.
Much thanks goes to Linda K. Kerber, Robert A. McCown, and Albert E. Stone, members of my University of Iowa thesis committee.
Special thanks to Wilma and Elmer Kehrli of Manchester, Iowa, who kindly took in a young scholar asking about the Gillespie family. George Goldsmith and Jean Hughes of Tucson tirelessly proofread the diary transcript with me. Friends and colleagues who have supported me in this long endeavor deserve recognition: Karen Anderson, Tina Kirkham, Stephen C. Lensink, Trudy Mills, Margaret A. Neale, Gregory B. Northcraft, Malcolm J. Rohrbough, Stephen West, and Martha (Marrie) Williams.
This book is dedicated to my parents, Venice and Vernon Nolte, who were raised on Nebraska farms and left them for the city. But they made sure their children had long summer visits to Aunt Martha's farm, where a young girl learned to dream of the past.
