Acknowledgments

The students would like to acknowledge and express appreciation to the following people, Jennifer Jarson (Social Sciences Subject Specialist, Trexler Library), Susan Falciani (Special Collections and Archives Librarian, Trexler Library), Doug Dinsmore (archaeologist and historical researcher), Frank Whelan (historian and reporter, WFMZ), and Jill Youngken (Assistant Director/Chief Curator/Director Library & Archives) and the rest of the crew at the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum. Without their assistance, this work would not have been possible. We would like to thank each other for moral support throughout this arduous process!
