The debt I owe is not sufficiently paid here, however I hope this goes some way to recognize the input and insights provided. Numerous institutions and librarians generously helped me find source materials over several years. My thanks to the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Library of Congress, Swarthmore’s Peace Library, the New York Public Library, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Harvard’s Houghton and Widener Libraries, Clem- son University Library, University of Chicago Library, the Chicago Historical Society, the University of Michigan Bentley Library, and the Pettigrew Museum. Special thanks to Peter Drummy at the Mas- sachusetts Historical Society who helped me sift through the then recatalogued Moorfield Storey Papers and Anne Yoder at Swarth- more’s Peace Library for her gracious hospitality in allowing me take digital photographs of the collections. I am also indebted to Univer- sity College Cork, Cork City Council, the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and Bruce College for financial support they have given at various stages of the project. The book has been markedly improved by the people who have read and commented on it. The project owes much of its credit to the guidance and oversight of David Ryan. I have benefited from David’s keen criticism, which has honed the rough edges of my work for some time. In the years I have known him, David has acted as my men- tor and friend. I am a better researcher and writer for working with him. I am also indebted to Marilyn Young, Joseph Smith, Mervyn O’Driscoll, and the anonymous readers who took the time to examine the entire manuscript and suggested how I can strengthen it. Several scholars have read portions of the manuscript and have provided cor- rections and valuable advice. Colleagues at Northumbria University read the manuscript or helped in the publication, including Sylvia Ellis, Don MacRaild, David Gleeson, and Joe Street. In general I have benefited greatly from the academic environment at Northumbria and
