Abstract
This will be an account in historical perspective of the development of part of the field of chemistry that I have been active in for most of my professional life, the field that is loosely described by the phrase "electron transfer in chemical reactions". In the short time available to me for the preparation of this paper, I can't hope to provide anything significant in the way of original thought. But I can add some detail to the historical record, especially on just how some of the contributions which my co-workers and I have made came about. This kind of information may have some human interest and may even have scientific interest of a kind which cannot easily be gathered from the scientific journals. For publication there, the course of discovery as it actually took place may be rewritten to invest it with a logic that it did not fully acquire until after the event.
