| A great many people helped produce this book in one way or another. The listing here is my limited way of offering thanks for their assistance. |
| Prof. John Boardman and Dennis Casey, with whom I walked the field; Matilda Virgilio Clark, who provided access to certain family records relating to the battle; Morton Berger, historian and curator of the Fourteenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, and the members of the 14th Brooklyn Civil War Round Table, who very kindly offered advice and suggestions and access to the historical collection of the 14th Brooklyn; Joseph Sherfy, for information about the family farm at the time of the battle; Daniel Scott Palter and the Staff of West End Games, for use of their extensive Civil War collection; Stephan Patejak, Mark Herman, Eric Smith, Daniel David, Bud Livingston, and John Willetts for their books, advice and assistance; Dan Kilbert of New York's Complete Strategist, Richard Berg who helped track down simulation materials; Dr. David G. Martin, for his advice and a copy of his and John W. Bussey's valuable Regimental Strengths and Losses at Gettysburg (Hightstown, N.J.: 1986); Robert Capriotti, re-enactor, for his assistance with some of the technical details and some of the pictures; Howard W. Hunter; and the fine people at the New York Public Library, the New York Historical Society, and the Mina Rees Library of the Graduate School of the City University of New York, who patiently tracked down obscure items without knowing why. I am particularly indebted to the officers and men of the recreated 15th New York Engineers, 124th New York Volunteers, Clark's Battery (B, 1st New Jersey Artillery) and the 1st New Jersey Cavalry for their valuable demonstrations of kit, equipment, and practice, their cheerful responses to questions, and their devotion to enhancing our understanding of the life of the soldier in the Civil War. |
| Particular thanks go to Bob Pigeon, Toni Bauer, and John Cannan of Combined Books, who made this volume possible; and to Kevin Wilkins, who did an excellent job on the maps. |
