Beyond the Founders: New Approaches to the Political History of the Early American Republic

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments The editors would like to thank those who facilitated and contributed to the several conference sessions that went into the development of this volume, especially Marion Nelson Winship, Andy Burstein, John Murrin, Jack Rakove, Peter Onuf, Jim Banner, and Joanne Freeman. For helpful comments on the introduction and other parts of the manuscript we also thank Joyce Appleby, Scott Casper, Peter Onuf, and Al Young. And most of all we thank our contributors and the rest of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, who made it all so convivial. David Perry of the University of North Carolina Press has stood by the project patiently; his editorial advice improved the manuscript at several stages. We would like to pay tribute to the demographic expansion that has occurred in the authors’ families during the gestation of this book. In order of their birth, they are Isaac Pasley, Isaac Huston, Owen Pasley, Rodda John, Angela Gormley, Laura Robertson, Emery John, Isaac Cotlar, Maya Waldstreicher, and Thad Robertson. We celebrate their appearance and acknowledge our families’ support and assistance. This page intentionally left blank beyond the founders This page intentionally left blank ...
