I am indebted to many individuals, institutions, and communities for making my work possible. I owe much to the Williams/Daugherty family who made their grandfather’s papers available to me. I am also grateful for the kind assistance from the staffs at the Chicago History Museum archives, the special collections at the Clarke Memorial Library at Central Michigan University, Western Michigan University, the Rackham Graduate Library and the Bentley Library at the University of Michigan, the Harold Washington Library in Chicago, the Grand Rapids Public Museum, the Logan Museum at Beloit College, the Chicago American Indian Center, the Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago, the D’Arcy McNickle Center and special collections at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Pokagon State Park, and the Great Lakes Regional Branch of the National Archives. I also substantially benefitted from the financial support afforded by the award of a five year Rackham Merit Fellowship at the University of Michigan – without which I could not have pursued my dream of returning to academia.
