Genres: Fiction
For help with the Greek quote, my appreciation to Prof. Ralph Rosen, chair of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Robert A. Ruhloff was kind enough to send me information on wrought-iron spikes, including several interesting samples. Jamie Kendrick, Adam Barzilay, Maria Gonzalez, and Yi-Ting Liu provided capable research assistance. The Milton Historical Society supplied information on the redoubtable P. L. Robertson. The staff of the Fisher Fine Arts Library and the Van Pelt L...ibrary of the University of Pennsylvania were helpful, as always. I doubt that this small book would have seen the light of day without the encouragement of my editor, Nan Graham, and my agent, Carl Brandt, who both share my interest in tools and handy-work.MoreLess
