Punctuation and spelling were far from standard in postrevolutionary America. Where old correspondence departs from current norms, I have added some punctuation and corrected some spellings for the sake of clarity. An interest in referring to people in ways that reflect gender equality has led me to call the Garretts by their first names. Exceptions are certain sections where I describe Augustuss business and political affairs. In these contexts, I often refer to him as Garrett in accord with the custom of the day. But in narrating Elizas more public activities, I have not adopted the nineteenth-century convention of calling her Mrs. Garrett but have used her first name instead. I might have called her Garrett, but that would have risked confusing her with her husband.
CHARLES H. COSGROVE is a professor of early Christian literature and the director of the PhD program at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, a union of schools descended from the institution founded by Eliza Garrett in 1853 that is located on the campus of Northwestern University. He is the author of numerous books and articles in a wide range of fields, including theology, ethics, ancient music, and legal history. A lifelong native of the Chicago area, Cosgrove is an aficionado of the citys history and makes the occasional appearance in area music venues as a professional jazz trombonist.
A number of libraries and repositories provided valuable documentary material for this book, including Styberg Library of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Northwestern University Archives, Chicago History Museum, Presbyterian Historical Society, Newberry Library, Newburgh Free Library, and Illinois Regional Archives Depository at Northeastern Illinois University. I wish to offer a special thanks to several current and former librarians at the Styberg Library who assisted me with many aspects of information gatheringLibrary Director Jaeyeon Chung and staff members Mary-Carol Riehs, Daniel Smith, Kathleen Kordesh, and J. Lauren Mondala. These librarians secured numerous resources, helped me with challenging research questions, and assisted with photographs and images. Kevin Leonard at the Northwestern University Archives offered valuable and gracious assistance with the university records pertaining to Augustus Garrett and the founding of the two schools. The old records of three churches were made available to me, and I am grateful to Dianne Luhmann for assistance with the records of First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, to Reverend Laurie McNeill for access to the records of First Presbyterian Church of Marlboro, and to Mary-Carol Riehs for taking me through archives of First Methodist Church of Chicago. I am very appreciative of my faculty colleague Dr. Barry E. Bryant for his guidance in all matters Methodist and Wesleyan. I also extend heartfelt thanks for the support and encouragement of President Lallene J. Rector of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. The Seminary helped underwrite the project, and for that I extend my gratitude to the Board of Trustees.
Through the course of my research, I also received assistance from Janine Protzman of Poughkeepsie, New York, great-great-great-grandniece of Eliza Garrett by descent from Elizas brother Jeremiah Clark. Thank you, Janine, for the many enjoyable conversations about your ancestor.
My editor at Southern Illinois University Press, Sylvia Frank Rodrigue, was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with, as were the other staff at the press, including Jennifer Egan and Wayne Larsen. Robert Browns meticulous copyediting saved me from many slips and unhappy formulations. Finally, I wish to acknowledge how much I was aided in the beginning of my work by Ila Fischers fine article on Eliza Garrett, which appeared as a chapter in Rosemary Kellers book Spirituality and Social Responsibility: Vocational Vision of Women in the United Methodist Tradition. For a brief introduction to Eliza Garrett, one can do no better than Ila Fishers account.
