I first encountered the memory book of Sam Hyde in Martha Clevenger's `Indescribably Grand': Diaries and Letters from the 1904 World's Fair. The voices she highlights prompted me to stop in St. Louis on a summer road trip in 2009 to do some more digging. The Bribriesco Family kindly hosted me (and my dog). We can't wait to return. Daegan, Josi, and Christine: your pieces, and the ideas about what it means to be a historian that are behind them, are exciting and energizing. I feel lucky to have found an interdisciplinary group of scholar-friends here at Cornell who care as much about how things are written as they do about what is being said. HAW!: thank you.

4. Everything in italics, as well as the title of this short piece, is a direct (and continuous) quotation from `Recollections of the Fair', Sam Hyde Album (photocopy) 1904–1909, Louisiana Purchase Exposition Collection, Journals and Diaries Envelope, Missouri History Museum Archives. I have chosen to preserve all of Sam Hyde's spelling and punctuation. Excerpts and some images from Sam Hyde's memory book can also be found in Martha Clevenger's ‘Indescribably Grand’: Diaries and Letters from the 1904 World's Fair (1996).
