ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Our research was furthered by the assistance of two libraries:
the Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York, and the
Tamiment Institute Library in New York City.
It would have been impossible to prepare this anthology
without the cooperation of the Freedom Press ( 17a Maxwell
Road, London, S.W.6, England) and the Libertarian League
(P.O. Box 261, New York 3, N.Y.). Although we had no
previous contact with either group, both enthusiastically
helped us, especially by sending great quantities of material
that would be hard to find in most libraries. Any student of
anarchism would be well advised to get in touch with them.
We are also indebted to the Catholic Worker for the loan of
rare and fragile back issues. Mr. Krimerman is grateful for a
supporting grant from the American Philosophical Society.
The help of Rosemary Stoehr in typing a great deal of the
manuscript, with only the distant prospect of payment, has
made us more than ever appreciative of anarchist principles.
Our greatest debts are to our wives Ruth and Eleano.
