Stories of Our Lives: Memory, History, Narrative

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments Part of chapter 11 appeared previously, in somewhat different form, in the Louisiana Folklore Miscellany (volumes 16–17, 2008). And as of this writing material from chapters 1 and 10 is due to appear in Western Folklore. My thanks to these publications for their interest. A number of people have read this book in an earlier draft and kindly offered additions and suggestions and I thank them all: Beatrice Palmer, Barbara Gray, Jack Mulvehill, Rosan Jordan, Kevin Mulvehill, Carl Patrick, Mary Jane Mulvehill, Margo Culley, Urban S. Mulvehill Jr., John McAlevey, and Kathleen Gray. Laura Clapp kindly sent me some of her stories. At Utah State University Press John Alley encouraged this book at an early stage and Michael Spooner and Karli Fish gave close attention to the project. At the University Press of Colorado, my thanks go to managing editor Laura Furney and marketing manager Beth Svinarich for their fine handling of the book, and to copy editor Diane Bush for providing such excellent editing. ...
