For Home and Country: World War I Propaganda on the Home Front

Acknowledgments

From a long list of friends and colleagues who have provided moral support as I completed this project, I would like to thank my department chair, Don Melichar, for his unflagging encouragement , and Dennis Muchisky for his support as well as his abiding interest in World War I. Also special thanks to Mary Hallab, Kevin Prufer, Sheryl Craig, Kathy Leicht, and Wayne Miller for asking the right questions and listening with grace to what must have been tedious answers. I am especially indebted to Gail Crump for writing letters in support of release time to work on this and other projects and to my former chair, Cheryl Eason, for endorsing my applications. I would also like to express my gratitude to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences for granting that release time. To Lisa Schmidt at the University of Central Missouri’s Academic Media Services go huge thanks for helping get my illustrations in order. Additionally, thanks to Steve Trout for calling me several years ago to ask me to contribute an article to volume 6 of Cather Studies. Working with Steve and the University of Nebraska Press on that volume encouraged me to return to Nebraska with this book project. I am grateful to my editors, Heather Lundine and Bridget Barry, for responding to numerous questions, and to my anonymous readers for helping make this book the best it can be. Last but by no means least, thanks go to my husband, Chuck Martin, whose patience and love is limitless and whose editing indispensable. I couldn’t have done it without you.
