To B. Edward McClellan, Professor Emeritus of Education, American Studies, and History, Indiana University Bloomington, and to Mary and their sons Doug and Robert. Ed McClellan has produced foundational work for a long-established, growing, and contentious literature in the history of moral and civic education in America. Where some offered pronouncements and imperatives, he has searched for evidence and understanding, framing large, urgent questions and inviting others to add to the list. All along, he has insisted that the field’s importance, particularly in the context of a democratic society, warranted rigorous, pointed curiosity. The editors and authors of this book have attempted to rise to his challenge. As readers will discover, the book pays tribute to Ed in ways that are consistent with his own contributions to the literature. This requires at minimum that we build on, expand, and argue with his work. If we had asked him, that is how he would have wanted us to proceed. We know Ed as a disciplined scholar, colleague, teacher, mentor, and friend. He is known too for his wry and unerringly perceptive sense of humor. Here and there, that admirable human trait also intrudes on the following pages.
