Acknowledgments

I would be terribly remiss if I did not acknowledge the tremendous amount of help I received (and continue to receive) from the following individuals: Chris Dulabone and Tyler Jones, whose work on the HACC, both together and individually, is to be commended.  Without it I might not have discovered all of the wealth of material that existed or even where to start. You can find it here and at Tales of the Cowardly Lion & Friends.   Special thanks goes first and foremost to the many old and modern day Royal Historians who's work has inspired me to put together this chronology...  Of the modern day inspirations, Nathan Mulac DeHoff, David Hulan and J. L. Bell for great advice and really terrific stories - “Keep ‘em coming!”, Greg Gick for his generosity and fantastic adventure, Eric Shanower and David Maxine for allowing me to use some great artwork, OzStory and those incredible graphic novels, Mark E. Haas for his friendly correspondence and remarkable books, Dennis Anfuso for the good discussions and cool Oz adventure, Johanna Mendes and Valerie Elder for their aid in obtaining some of uncle March’s Oz books, Ruth Morris and Robin Olderman for their wisdom and support, Charles Phipps for his kindness, Ken Shepherd for the detailed work on his Oz Chronology, Sean Duffley for his benevolence in allowing me to tackle his old position as Reviews Editor for the Bugle, Peter E. Hanff for his enthusiasm and permission to use the Oz Map, Joyce and Allen John Konkel for help in tracking down copies of their mother Ruth’s wonderful manuscripts, Hugh Pendexter III and Harry Mongold for their thoughtful letters and fantastic tales, Marcus Mebes for the beautiful artwork and some great trades, Marc Berezin for all the useful information, and Stephen Teller for his suggestions and help in tracking down many lost tales; Robert Hirsch for the incredibly beautiful and rare scans; Marie Richardson for the Mirrors; Darrell Spradlyn for the Asimov scans and Emerald City Mirrors; Special thanks also go to Dee Michel for the crushkins and garnish and much more; Jeffrey Rester -- fellow archivist -- for his continued generosity and encouragement; Rich Handley for his help and advice, the Libsman family for their friendship and support; Kim Fulkerson for her Amazon support; Willy and Sheila for their understanding and computer (which I took hostage for a time), Jon Armstrong for his continued advice; Mom for her patience.  I’d also like to thank everyone on Dave Hardenbrook’s Nonestica, as well as everyone on Regalia for their collective knowledge and contributions.  Thank you all!
