FOREWORD Few Americans have so influenced the history of this century as George C. Marshall, who served as United States Army Chief of Staff during World War II, and later as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense. In recognition of General Marshall's service to his country, the George C. Marshall Research Foundation was created in 1953. In 1964, a research library specializing in twentieth-century military and diplomatic history was dedicated in Lexington, Virginia, adjacent to Marshall's alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute. General Marshall's personal papers, as well as those of many of his associates and contemporaries are housed here. Limited funds and staff in the early years of the Library precluded the processing and description of the manuscript holdings. In 1976 the Marshall Foundation received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to hire the staff and to purchase the supplies necessary to process and produce finding aids to General Marshall's papers and the other manuscript holdings of the Library. The publication last year of Manuscript Collections ofthe George C. Marshall Library: A Guide is a direct result of this grant. Former Director Fred 1" Hadsel and former Archivist Anthony R. Crawford conceived this project and obtained the grant that made it possible. It is also appropriate to acknowledge Dr. Forrest C. Pogue, Marshall biographer and first director of the Foundation, and the late Eugenia Lejeune, the first archivist-librarian, for their efforts as the early custodians of these papers for the Marshall Foundation. iii Gordon R.
