Acknowledgements
Among the people and resources that were of great help to me in
assembling The Annotated Hasheesh Eater were:
- Union College Library, Schnectady, New York, where I found
biographical information about Fitz Hugh Ludlow available
nowhere else
- The New York State Historical Library, Cooperstown, New York,
which was very helpful and which let me review many Ludlow
family letters
- Michael Horowitz’s 1975 edition of The Hasheesh Eater, which
was my first exposure to 19th century
cannabis writing and to Fitz Hugh Ludlow
- The Beta testers for this CD-ROM, who pointed out errors and
made suggestions for improvement
- The on-line “Making of America” archive, which has scans and
searchable OCR’d
text of many 19th century books and
periodicals.
- Donald P. Dulchinos, whose Ludlow biography (Pioneer of
Inner Space 1998) identified some of the people whose trips
Ludlow described in The Hasheesh Eater
- The San Francisco Public Library History Center, which has useful
information on Ludlow’s trek to California
- Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1898 edition) — some of
my footnotes come almost word-for-word from there
- ARTFL Project: Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1913 Edition
(http://humanities.uchicago.edu/forms_unrest/webster.form.html) —
my source for information on many an unknown word
- Bible Gateway (http://bible.gospelcom.net/)
- Google (http://www.google.com/) — what would we do without ’em
