Acknowledgments

Aside from the numerous books, magazines, etc. that I consulted for this project (which are listed below), I would also like to specifically thank certain individuals who provided their assistance. First of all, my friend, Louis Helman, generously volunteered to proofread the site and his painstaking and meticulous attention to this was invaluable to me (and reminded me that, despite the fact that I did major in English, my grammatical skills are rusty!). Also, webmaster Lynn Dougherty also provided her expert advice concerning design and technical matters. If you have not visited any of Lynn's sites, you are in for a treat!

I would also like to thank the University of North Alabama's Interlibrary Loan Department, the Alabama Department of Archives and History, the Birmingham Public Library Reference Department and the Walker County Chamber of Commerce.
