  Also in Virginia: thanks to Kathy Walker Green at the Governor’s Mansion, Teresa Roane at the Valentine Museum, Kip Campbell and Carolyn Parsons at the Virginia State Library and Archives, and Frances Pollard, senior librarian with the Virginia Historical Society.

  In Louisiana, my gratitude goes to Konita Berthelot at the Louisiana Film Commission in Baton Rouge, and to her coworker Phil Seifert, who came on the road with me for a couple of enjoyable days spent exploring estates and old plantation houses along the Mississippi. Further thanks to Jessica Travis at the Historic New Orleans Collection, and to the staff of the Howard Tilton Library on the Tulane University campus.

  Returning home, it’s thanks to Marian J. Pringle, senior librarian at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and to Christopher Sheppard at the Brotherton Collection, Leeds University Library.

  And after I’d pulled it all together, it’s thanks for guidance and management to Julia Kreitman, Howard Morhaim and Kate Menick, Shaye Areheart and Anne Berry, Abner Stein, and Mike Moorcock for the final steer that has led me, over the past three or four years, to this unexpected place.

  And, finally, a special nod to a correspondent whom I only ever knew as “Scary Gary” and who, in the early days of this project, supplied me with Xeroxed material from his own archives of weird and bizarre material from throughout the ages.

  Gary, wherever you are…thank you. But stay right there. That’s close enough. Okay?
