ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many people have helped to make this book possible. For financial support, I am especially grateful to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Humanities Research Institute at Brock University. At The Pennsylvania State University Press, Sandy Thatcher (now retired) gave the fledgling idea his backing early on. Kendra Boileau, with her assistant Robert Turchick, guided the project through to production, where Laura Reed-Morrisson, Kathleen Kageff, Steve Kress and Patricia Mitchell expertly saw things through to the end. My colleagues and students in the Department of History at Brock University listened with keen interest (not always feigned) and lent their encouragement along the way. Exacting research assistance from Mathieu Robitaille (BA, Brock University, 2009) and Janet Baines (MA, Brock University, 2010) is evident in the bibliography. As always, my greatest supporters are found at home, where Kelly and our two boys, Thomas and William, indulge with such good-natured ease the curious pursuits of their resident historian.
