Acknowledgments

 

Several hundreds of
persons and institutions have contributed in scores of ways to the research for
The Centennial History of the Civil War. It is impossible to list or record all
their names, but it is the wish of the author and the research director personally
to express their gratitude.

Many of those who
unstintingly gave of their knowledge and aid were mentioned in
The
Coming Fury,
Volume I, of the
Centennial History. Others are presented in the lists of resources found in the
bibliography of each volume.

Collectors,
librarians, historians, and others all over the nation gave freely of their
time and allowed use of their valuable documents. Among those deserving
special mention is Allan Nevins of Huntington Library, San Marino, Calif., who
allowed us full access to his own voluminous research notes. In addition, he
read the manuscript and made many valuable suggestions. Others who read the
manuscript in preparation were Edwin C. Bearss, Carl Haver-lin, Ralph G.
Newman, T. Harry Williams, Bell I. Wiley, and Frank Vandiver. Mr. Newman also
made available his collection of manuscripts and books, among countless other
services. Stanley Horn read the work in galley proofs.
