Kelly, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments Although my name appears alone on the cover page of this thesis, the final product could not have been achieved without the guidance and assistance of the numerous people involved in the research and writing process. My professors at IUPUI have been the most warm, patient, and student-oriented group of academics I have ever come across. Robert Barrows, my professor and thesis committee chairman, provided countless hours of advice and took patience to an entirely new level as deadlines consistently needed extending. He is a remarkable teacher, inspiring mentor, and just an overall great man. Annie Gilbert Coleman and Jason Kelly, the other two-thirds of my thesis committee, used their creativity and expertise to expand my understanding of history and, in the end, make me love my trade even more. The rest of my professors, colleagues, and friends in the history department at IUPUI have helped more than they will ever realize. I thank John Taylor, Owen York, Maureen Craney, and Nancy Robertson for their conversation and their ability to make the fifth floor of Cavanaugh Hall both more entertaining and more educational.
