When all of our files were wiped out by a computer glitch she came to our rescue and had us up and running within hours. Jim and Nancy Calvert provided the depth and texture of the Calvert Coat of Arms in the title, the best of all the renditions we've come across. I never met any of these people, yet consider them friends as well as colleagues. Happiness is indeed being married to your best friend. The Calvert Chronicles is an essay intended solely for private distribution among family, friends and colleagues interested in the subject matter.
Some parts are compilations of commentary by others more familiar with certain aspects of the topic.
Sources and authors have been cited when possible, but much of the material was gathered from the public domain or otherwise acquired for various purposes over a period of years well before the present project was envisioned. In some instances, sources which would have been noted if the present project had been the objective when the information was gleaned were simply lost. In writing The Calvert Chronicles I've looked to material from Kentucky historian and genealogist Sandi Gorin, to whom we are deeply indebted, That Dark and Bloody River, by Allen W. Eckert, and Frederick Jackson Turner's theses, The Significance of the Frontier in American History. If copyrighted material is contained herein for which credit is not given, or for which payment would have been demanded by the author, the transgression was unintentional, and my apologies are sincerely extended. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
