Acknowledgments
Among the many thanks I am pleased to extend to those who helped with the creation of Love, Fiercely, first and foremost are those owed to the staff and librarians at the New York Public Library’s Rare Book Room, and those at the New-York Historical Society. Combing through the many cubic yards of Stokesiana in both places made my research a pleasure. The NYPL’s offer of a carrel in their writers’ oasis, the Allen Room, allowed me a quiet place to study, reflect and, occasionally, even to put words down on paper. At the Metropolitan Museum, I found a trove of records related to The Painting.
Among my many primary sources, I want to offer special gratitude to Newton P. S. Merrill, not only for his trove of Stokes knowledge, but for his helpful insights into the family. The generous and resourceful Lithgow Osborne deserves much credit for keeping the Minturn flame alive. Carol Owen contributed time to share her expertise on the magnificent “cottages” of the Berkshires.
Thanks to my editor, Andrea Schulz, who made this book better in so many ways. The finest reader anyone could have, Larry Cooper, trained his sharp eye on this poor scrivener’s prose. Christina Morgan, also at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, performed the vital function of moving things along.
Betsy Lerner believed in this project almost before I did, and when it was necessary took me in hand and insisted that I do justice to my subjects. The book would literally not have been born were it not for Steve and Betty Zimmerman. Their enthusiasm buoyed me, as did the interest of Andy Zimmerman, Suzanne Levine and Peter Zimmerman. Josefa Mulaire, Debbie Levitt, Lisa Senauke and Sandra Robishaw were always in my corner. Thanks to Maud for her sunny conviction that all will be okay. Gil, you know the extent of your contribution. These pages would not live without you.
