Acknowledgments My thanks to Mary Lenn Dixon of Texas A&M University Press for her support, knowledge, editing skills, and belief in the book project and to Carol Hoke, copyeditor, for her excellent work on the manuscript. My gratitude to Laura Ann Gibson for generously sharing her research insights and resources on the Alabama Settlement. Also to Malcolm and Marguerite McLean for enormous help with archival and biographical research on Robertson’s Colony and Robertson descendants. I am grateful to Cile Robertson Ambrose for opening the Robertson house to me. I would like to thank Jack Weatherford for ideas and inspiration on writing history and anthropology and for being a good friend. My sisters, Gayle DeGregori and Barbara Sutherland, and my friends Roberta Bondi and Susan McCombie read and edited the manuscript, and I am grateful for all of their help and advice. All of the Robertson, Rogers, and Sutherland kin who over the years collected and preserved documents and stories of the past and present have made this book possible. I owe a special thanks to Florence Hudson for her work on reunions and kinship. My gratitude to my father for instilling a love of Texas and writing and to my mother for true love and friendship. To Charles for always supporting my intellectual pursuits and being there for me. To my children, Frankie and Benjamin, for teaching me the most about life and love. To Phoebe, my pug, for hours of comic relief and cuddles. [44.200.230.43] Project MUSE (2024-03-28 17:39 GMT) the robertsons, the sutherlands, and the making of texas ...
