Thanks to those who replied, I figured this one out.  The problem
was that the figures were close together in the text, so as soon
as LaTeX had to bump one from the [h] location, it seemed to
cascade the rest, so they all went to the end.  I fixed it by
replacing [h] with [htb], so LaTeX just nudges them around a bit,
instead of tossing up it's hands and tossing my figures to the end!
