Acknowledgments
I could not have written this book without the substantial assistance I received from Eastern Michigan University. I was able to complete the research and writing of the manuscript with the aid of a research grant and subbatical leave awarded by the University's Board of Regents. My department heads, Ira Wheatley and Jim Waltz, encouraged and assisted me in a variety of ways, as did our department's senior secretary, Nancy Snyder. Her capable office staff quickly fulfilled my every request. Brian Steimel of the University library was very helpful in obtaining materials for me through interlibrary loan.
I am also very indebted to library personnel at a number of other institutions. Peter Drummey and his staff at the Massachusetts Historical Society enabled me to spend my time there pleasantly as well as efficiently. Darrell Garwood of the Kansas State Historical Society provided me with photocopies of important materials from his collections. Melanie Wisner of the Houghton Library at Harvard University obtained copies of letters in the Sumner papers which were unavailable to me when I visited Cambridge. David Wigdor, assistant chief of the Manuscripts Division in the Library of Congress, answered my innumerable queries with great patience and helpfulness. David Bosse, curator of maps at the Clements Library, University of Michigan, enabled me to exploit newspaper files there and also to locate useful maps.
