Children and Youth during the Civil War Era

Acknowledgments

| vii Acknowledgments My greatest thanks go to Steve Mintz for his kind foreword and to the authors for their timely responses to what must have seemed an endless string of demands, suggestions, and queries. The anonymous readers provided helpful comments that strengthened the individual essays as well as the editor’s introductions. The Children and Youth in America series has found a friendly home at NYU Press, thanks to Eric Zinner and the rest of the staff, especially Ciara McLaughlin and Despina Papazoglou Gimbel, and Susan Ecklund, who copyedited the manuscript. The authors and I also thank the following repositories for granting permission to publish texts and images from their collections: the American Antiquarian Society for “The Early Development of Southern Chivalry”; the Atlanta History Center for excerpts from the Carrie Berry Diary; the Dartmouth College Library for “A Few Words to the Trustees”; the Library Company of Philadelphia for “Maltreatment of Inmates of the Schools for Soldiers’ Orphans”; the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division for “The Four Seasons of Life: Youth”; the Missouri History Museum for the ambrotype of “H. E. Hayward and Slave Nurse Louisa”; the New Jersey Historical Society for excerpts and images from the Newark High School Atheneum; and the State Archives of Florida for the photograph of “Magby Peterson and His Nanny.” This page intentionally left blank ...
