X ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
for his wise counsel and for collecting documents for me at
the Public Record Office, London, England. I want to express
my appreciation for the suggestions of all those who read
the manuscript: the late Professor Edgar S. Furniss, Jr., and
Professor Marvin Zahniser of the Ohio State University; and
Professor Richard L. Millett, Southern Illinois University. I
am also indebted to Dr. David A. Lockmiller, whose Magoon
in Cuba is the pioneer study of the Second Intervention, and
to Mr. Frank Steinhart, Jr., for their advice.
I would be derelict if I failed to mention the financial
assistance that made this work possible: my thanks to the
Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Grad
uate School and the Mershon Center for Education in National
Security at the Ohio State University, the Research Council
of the University of Missouri, and my parents.
My sincere thanks to my friends Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Graham
II of Washington, D. C, who run a most congenial hostel for
itinerant scholars.
Lastly, but no less importantly, I wish to express my thanks
and admiration to my wife Sally for her patience, understand
ing, interest, and constructive criticism.
