This book already has an introduction so I won't go on long here.  I just want to say that it is an amazing piece of scholarship from a man who was one of the foremost regional historians of his generation.  Bill was an amazing guy.  He was a formidible researcher yet was helpful to beginning historians.  He had a glacial stare that could drill right through you but could be as warm and genous as a summer day.  Bill was not perfect, there are a couple of places in this book that testify to that, but you know, 99% or thereabouts isn't so bad.  It's been a few years since Bill passed on.  I still miss him though. He was a great guy.   So, it is with a great deal of pleasure that I'm making the first run at this work, useful to historians, geneologists and others, available to the general public.
