Adair's History of the American Indians

Transcriber’s Note:
This volume is a reprint of Adair’s original text. The editor had preserved the page numbers in the form of bracketed numbers. Those page breaks frequently were interpolated in mid-word. In this rendering of the text, those page numbers are moved slightly to allow each word to complete without hyphenation.
The Adair’s fifty-six footnotes, originally employing ‘ ’ and ‘†’, have been reindexed sequentially using Roman numerals. As the editor informs us in his Preface, some of these notes were extended by him. Adair’s portion is followed by ‘(A)’, for Adair, and his own extended remarks are followed by ‘(W)’, for ‘Williams.’
The editor’s own footnotes were already numbered sequentially from the first to the last page, beginning again at ‘1’ after the Introduction. This approach has been retained.
Adair’s footnotes have been moved to follow the paragraphs in which they are referenced. The editor’s notes are gathered at the end of the text, following the Index, and are linked for ease of reference.
Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
