France and England in North America, Part III: La Salle, Discovery of The Great West

Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. Original spelling and its variations were not harmonized.
Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which they belonged and numbered in one continuous sequence. The pagination in index entries which referred to these footnotes was not changed to match their new locations and is therefore incorrect.
