Page ix Acknowledgments I accumulated many debts during the years that I worked on this book, and at last I have the opportunity to acknowledge them. My deepest intellectual debt goes to my history professors and mentors at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), and California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). As a doctoral student at UCI, I was the beneficiary of a challenging curriculum that introduced me to exciting new scholarship in social, gender, family, and ethnic history and the use of social theory in interpreting the past. My graduate adviser there, Mary P. Ryan, helped establish the historiographical and theoretical foundations for this study, and my association with her on this and other projects taught me well how a first-rate historian works. Michael P. Johnson, my dissertation adviser, was instrumental in the conceptualization and completion of this book, and for his timely encouragement, sage advice, and many kindnesses, I will always be grateful. I also am indebted to my other professors at UCI, particularly Spencer Olin, for their stimulating classes and embodiment of productive, committed historians. Although UCI was pivotal in my scholarly development, I continue to appreciate the academic training I received at CSUF, and especially the direction and advice of history professors David Pivar, Nancy Fitch, Lawrence de Graaf, and Ronald Rietveld. My current teaching area is not in

Page x history, but the CSUF history department has continued to embrace me as a colleague, which I value very much. California's system of higher education has sustained me financially as well as intellectually. The University of California provided research funds in the form of a Regents Fellowship, a Patent Fund Award, and a Humanities Research Grant, while the California State University System promoted my research through a CSUF Departmental Association Council grant and a Summer Fellowship. In these times of fiscal austerity I increasingly appreciate the resources made available to me. Now that I am a professor of library and information science, I must salute the great work done by anonymous librarians and archivists in creating, organizing, and making accessible the fabulous historical materials pertaining to antislavery, women, local history, and genealogy in New England. In particular, I would like to thank the professional and support staffs of the following libraries for their assistance in locating and making available the material in their collections: American Antiquarian Society, Andover-Newton Theological Seminary, Boston Public Library, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Genealogy Library (Salt Lake City), Columbia University, Cornell University, Essex Institute, Jaffrey (N.H.) Public Library, Massachusetts Historical Society, New England Historic and Genealogical Library, Schlesinger Library of Radcliffe College, and Smith College. I also acknowledge the hard work of Nancy Caudill and Ruth Palmer, interlibrary loan librarians at California State University, Fullerton, and Claremont Colleges, respectively, who patiently and resourcefully searched for the obscure materials I had to have for my research.
