Acknowledgments

For the ten years of the writing and research for The Centennial History of the Civil War several hundred individuals and institutions have contributed in countless ways. It would be impossible to list or record all their names, but the author and research director are truly grateful.

Many gave unstintingly of their knowledge. Some were mentioned previously in the acknowledgments of Volume I and Volume II. Our debts to the various institutions and private collectors are found in the resources section of the bibliography in each volume.

Deserving of special mention in this volume, among others, are Bell Irvin Wiley and T. Harry Williams, for reading the manuscript. Allan Nevins, Ralph Newman and others continued their aid in furnishing us with valuable research material.

The following are among those whose names should be added to the roll call, although there are admittedly many others:

James L. Borroum, Corinth, Miss.; Hatchett Chandler, Foley, Ala.; J. Winston Coleman, Lexington, Ky.; Charles A. Collier, Atlanta, Ga.; Chester L. Davis, Perry, Mo.; Michael Dutton, Glen Ellyn, 111.; Newton C. Farr, Chicago; Mrs. Francis B. Hastings, Orange, Va., for permission to use her father's account of Yellow Tavern; Robert S. Henry, Washington, D.C.; Harold Hyman, Champaign, 111.; Wilbur G. Kurtz, Atlanta, Ga.; Alexander A. Lawrence, Savannah, Ga.; Grady McWhiney, Evanston, 111.; Bert Maybee, Kansas City, Mo.; Howard N. Monnett, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Will Plank, Marlboro, N.Y.; H. V. Rose, Smithfield, N.C.; Wilbert Rosin and the Concordia College Library, River Forest, 111., for the use of equipment; Don Russell, Elmhurst, 111.; L. C. Tapp, Brice's Crossroads, Miss.; W. O.
