Acknowledgments
Without the aid and encouragement of many people this book would never have come to fruition. We would first like to thank our fellow contributors for their splendid essays, as well as their patience and good humor. John Hubbell at The Kent State University Press has supported and encouraged us; his patience and advice have provided expert stewardship. Stanley Kutler was a guiding force behind planning the dinner and retirement celebration in Madison, Wisconsin, at which we presented this book of essays in Dick Sewell's honor. A special thanks to Stanley for not spilling the secret, an extraordinary example of self-restraint. Very special thanks are also due Eric Foner and Bertram WyattBrown for delivering papers and helping us all to honor Dick in December 1994. We are further grateful to Ken Sacks and the University of Wisconsin history department for allowing us to participate in Dick's retirement banquet.
At Arizona State, Alice Valenzuela, Sharon Brockus, Carolyn Heath, Pat Nay, and Marlene Bolf contributed in ways large and small to finishing this volume. At Amherst, Nancy Board's expert assistance was indispensable for editing, revising, making computer conversions, and completing the manuscript for publication in its various stages. Brooks gives
