José de Bustamante and Central American Independence Atlantic Crossings Rafe Blaufarb, Series Editor José de Bustamante and Central American Independence Colonial Administration in an Age of Imperial Crisis Timothy Hawkins The University of Alabama Press Tuscaloosa I could not have written this book without the assistance of scores of friends, family, and colleagues—too many, unfortunately, to name here—who have been more than gracious with their time, ideas, critiques, and support over the past decade. Thank you. For special service to the cause, I would like to acknowledge the mentorship of Ralph Lee Woodward and the patience of Margaret Hurdlik. Despite so much help, I must take complete responsibility for any errors of fact and interpretation found within. This book is dedicated to my grandmother, Estelle Murzyn. T.H.
