ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Before having a book project of my own, I didn't appreciate the significance of this section.
Thanks to Bruce H. Franklin of Westholme Publishing for
taking a chance on me with my first book. Clay Risen of the New York Times Disunion blog similarly gave me an initial break when he published my first article, “The Union's ‘Newfangled Gimcracks,’” on January 23, 2012.
Thanks, too, to Hal Jespersen at www.cwmaps.com, for graciously allowing his maps to be reproduced.
Three men I've never met merit credit. First is writing instructor and author John Dufresne, who helped me overcome intimidation by observing there is never a last word on any subject. If we feel we have something different to say, we should not be bothered that our skills may not match those of recognized experts. Second is William Zinsser, whose instructional books on nonfiction writing led me to appreciate the importance of brevity and rewriting. Third, is Barry Eisler, whose Web site has valuable hints on how to get published.
Thanks to editor Ron Silverman and cover designer Trudi Gershenov for careful and creative work.
Finally, Bronson Thayer of Tampa has been an unexpected local supporter whose enthusiasm helps keep me motivated.
