Page vii Acknowledgments I have many people to thank for this book. Sidney Kaplan graciously allowed me to look at his notes, gave me substantive and masterful editorial suggestions, let me stay at his home, and became my friend during the writing of the manuscript (so, too, Emma Kaplan). Mary C. Wright, Rudolph Bell, and Larry Henry painstakingly read the manuscript many times and gave me encouragement to finish the project. I thank my dissertation advisor, James Kirby Martin, as well as Wayne Cooper, Joel Shufro, Allen Kaufman, George Billias, Thomas Forstenzer, Dick Kohn, and the readers of the University of Massachusetts Press for their many careful readings of the manuscript and their helpful comments. Richard Martin of the University of Massachusetts Press gave me an immeasurable amount of assistance, while Mary and John Wideman, through the help of Susan Tracy, allowed me to stay in their Whately home as I completed the research for this book. I wish to thank Wendell B. Cook, Jr., of the University of Massachusetts library for his help in making the Badlam Papers of the Dorchester Historical Society accessible. Most of all, I want to thank my parents, Peter and Eunice, for giving me an interest in history and the chance to pursue it, and my wife, Mary, for her understanding during the trauma of writing this book.
