ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many individuals and institutions have helped me in my work on this book. The Irving and Rose Crown Fellowship in the History of American Civilization financed my graduate studies at Brandeis University and supported the early stages of this project. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte provided financial support for the final stages of my work. The staffs at the Alabama Department of Archives and History, the Huntsville Public Library, the Georgia Department of Archives and History, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the Manuscript Department of the William R. Perkins Library at Duke University were generous in their help. Sharon Watkins tackled the tedious chore of sifting through the court records in Huntsville with enthusiasm and intelligence, and her careful work was valuable. Morton Keller and Christine Heyrman guided me through the writing of this study and, with J. William Harris, offered criticisms that helped me turn it into this book. An informal group of fellow graduate students gave welcome advice during the early stages of my work, including Carol Ely, Matt Gallman, Tami Miller, June Namias, David Palmer, and Tom Pegram. I especially would like to thank Dan Cohen, Wendy Gamber, David Sicilia, and Susan Tananbaum for their support and thoughtful criticism of several chapters. Edward Ayers, Andrew Cayton, Steven Stowe, Mills Thornton, Steve Usselman, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown graciously took time away from their own scholarly pursuits to critique portions of my work and to offer welcome advice. Trudie Calvert's careful copy editing made this a better book.
