ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ; 
     
    
   
   
    
     A special thanks to the Provincial Archives, The 
     
     Heritage Foundation of P.E.I., Mr. Ralph Lindsay, Mrs. 
     
     Ruth MacKenzie, Major General E.G. Weeks, Members of 
     
     The Hyndman and Peake families, and the many, many, 
     
     others with whom I spent countless hours, gathering 
     
     verbal and documented information, leading to the 
     
     publication of this book. And especially my dear wife 
     
     Gloria, who tolerated, without complaint, the many 
     
     quiet hours of paper clippings and bright lights.
