Editor's Note

Abstract

The Fairmount Folio was created by Dr. Helen S. Hundley in 1996
to provide a forum for undergraduate and graduate students to publish
exceptional historical work. Over the course of twenty years and
seventeen volumes, she has served as the driving force and champion of
the Folio. She has overseen every detail of its publication, including the
transition to a digital format. Her dedication is such that even after a
serious accident in March of 2016, she continued guiding the publication
of this volume. “Tis only a flesh wound,†she might have said. To her,
this volume is affectionately dedicated.
Dr. Robert M. Owens and Felicia Hammons
