This exhibit is truly the work of many, past and
present.
An initial, succinct draft of the exhibit was written
by Jeff Indeck and Rolla Shaller,
the curator and assistant curator of archeology, respectively,
at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum (PPHM). As the exhibit
plans grew, TBH editor Steve Black expanded the
text and incorporated many comments thoughtfully made by Chris
Lintz. Lintz is credited as one of the exhibit authors
because of both his extensive draft comments and the fact that his
dissertation and Stamper site articles were drawn upon repeatedly.
Historical insights were also borrowed from the other Plains Villager
exhibits written by David Hughes, Doug Boyd, and John Erickson.
Helpful outside (peer) review comments were made by Scott Brosowske
and Pat Mercado-Allinger.
Even more individuals helped provide the images. Rolla
Shaller and Chris Lintz deserve top billing. Time and time again,
Shaller scanned images from his own photograph collection and from
the archives of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. Special
thanks are also due to archivist Betty Bustos and Jeff Indeck at
the PPHM for archival access, scans, photographs, and information.
Lintz gave Black access to his own slide collection and provided
leads on sources for many other images. Other photographers and
sources are credited in the image captions.
