Acknowledgments
I would like to thank, firstly, Mrs. Krimsky and Mr. Alter, whose
support, knowledge, creativity, and pushiness has helped this project
become what it has become more than any other person. Without them, I
would still be lost without any sort of direction.
Also to the Gunnery and all of the administration, for the continued support of the Gunn Scholar project, and for the access to the archives that began this long trip through history.
Next I need to thank Stephen Bartkus and Sarah Griswold from the Gunn Memorial Museum, whose help and information have been an integral part of my now better understanding of the people and the town during the Civil War.
William Smith, to whom this website is dedicated, and whose help and transcriptions have been especially important to this project.
To the Rev. Steven Blackburn, Ph.D, whose help from the Harford Seminary Library became an important step to understanding the history of Romulus Loveridge.
To Michael Frost of Yale and the Yale Sterling Library, who helped finally piece together the Romulus story.
To Hari Jones from The African American Civil War Memorial and Museum in Washington D.C., whose knowledge of colored regiments in the Civil War has helped me understand more clearly what Charles and Romulus went through.
To all the previous Gunn Scholars, who created a foundation that helped me tremendously with this project, and will continue to be the foundation of all following projects.
To the Hartford Library and Connecticut Historical Society for allowing me to research the Civil War in Connecticut.
To the Litchfield Historical Society, whose copies of the Litchfield Enquirer turned out to be a treasure trove of valuable information.
To the state historical societies of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Georgia whose digital archives helped me with regimental histories and the story of Charles in Brunswick.
To Ted Clark and his wife who now own the Logan Farmstead where Charles once worked.
To James Bramble from Tampa Florida, a Loveridge family descendent, who, though ancestry.com, pointed us in the right direction in terms of finding out more on Romulus Loveridge.
And finally to my parents, Kevin and Ruth Bodnar, who have done nothing but support me through this entire endeavor. I love you both so very much.
