Acknowledgments
This project would not have been possible without the knowledge and dedication of many historians and researchers who have studied these events far longer than I and without the perseverance of librarians, archivists and volunteers at local libraries and historical societies. I know there were many people who assisted in the research that I am not able to name here, and I apologize for any unintentional omissions.
I am especially indebted to the following people for their assistance and insights. Without them, I would not have found many of these sites.
