In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments I want to thank several people who have been indispensable in the completion of this project. Michael Oriard offered both guidance and encouragement in the early stages of research. Holly Pinheiro, my research assistant at the University of Central Florida, located sources and took notes on several important biographies and other works. Mel Adelman deserves special thanks, as he read the manuscript twice and offered important corrections and advice. Bill Regier, the director of the University of Illinois Press, offered important guidance throughout the course of the project. His patience through many delays was above and beyond anything one could reasonably expect and is greatly appreciated. Finally, to Pat Crepeau, special thanks for your patience and love throughout the research and writing process, as well as the nearly fifty years of having to deal with me.
