The study of the Philadelphia campaign has been an
ongoing process over the decades. I stand on the
shoulders of such giants as Samuel S. Smith, John J.
Jackson, and Thomas McGuire. I can only hope this text
does justice to the brave soldiers who fought on either
side of this conflict. I would also like to thank the following
people for their help, without which this book could never
be written: John Rees, James L. Kochan, Don Troiani, Roy
Najecki, Christian Cameron, Todd Brasted, Karl Uschold,
Eric Schnitzer, Bryan Kennedy, Todd Post, Kimberley
Szewczyk, Phillip Seitz, Brenda Rosseau, William Risko,
William Davis, Joanna de Vries, Kate Flintham, and all
the institutions who were gracious enough to allow
publications of images from their collections.
