References and acknowledgements
This page is here both to acknowledge the efforts of my contributors as well as to provide a more thorough listing of my sources of information. Most of the photographs on the site have photo credit and copyright information along with the picture, but there may be a few that I missed. Information on pages where I have drawn explicitly from one or several sources have bibliographic information at the bottom of the page, but many facts or tidbits came from sources I haven’t listed anywhere. Hopefully this page can reconcile some of the ones I may have missed.
