An Alaska Anthology: Interpreting the Past

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments This anthology is a tribute to all those who pursue a scholarly interest in Alaska history. We have tried to explain its purpose and context in the Introduction. The editors wish to express here their appreciation to all those who helped to make the work possible and without whose generous assistance it could not have been completed. Most particularly, we thank Professors Morgan Sherwood, Richard Pierce, Lydia Black, Ted C. Hinkley, and Barbara Smith, whose support was essential. We also want to thank all those authors who graciously agreed to permit their work to be reprinted here, and the publishers and editors who gave their permission, especially John Findlay of Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Robert Craig of Pacifica (a publication now regrettably defunct), Dave Nicandri of the Washington State Historical Society, and Jim Ducker of Alaska History. We owe Jan Ingram, formerly of Alaska Pacific University Press, much thanks, and special appreciation to Julidta Tarver of the University of Washington Press, without whose generous confidence and legendary patience no revision would have been possible. Also special thanks to Carol Zabilski of Pacific Northwest Quarterly, for her fine editorial eye. x ...
