His guidance prevented many errors while his enthusiasm and encouragement revived my often flagging spirits. Drs. Clayton Roberts and Eugene Roseboom read the first draft of the manuscript and made valuable sug gestions. The staffs of the Library of Congress, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the \Vestern Pennsylvania His torical Society, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh were always cooperative and directed me to many sources I would otherwise have missed. I wish particularly to thank Miss Bayley Ellen Marks and Miss Ellen Lee Barker of the Maryland Historical Society for their as sistance. My colleagues at Colorado State University-Carlos Allen, John Jenkins, William Griswold, and Arnold Blum berg, and Joseph Cox at Towson State College always gave their time and knowledge when I requested it. Mrs. Irene Maddox typed various drafts of the manuscript with unfailing care. To Mrs. Rudolph Wendel I owe a personal debt I can never repay. My dedication of this book to her is intended only to express my appreciation of that indebtedness.
