Transcriber’s Note
The author’s footnotes have been moved to the end of the volume.
The following typographical errors were corrected:
| [page 70], “wagon train” changed to “wagon-train” | |
|---|---|
| [page 73], “orced” changed to “forced” | |
| [page 86], “kulking” changed to “skulking” | |
| [page 125], “way” changed to “way.” | |
| [page 140], “At” changed to “As” |
In addition, several missing, superfluous or misplaced quote marks have been corrected.
Variations in spelling (“pass-word” and “password”, “tear-drop” and “teardrop”, “bastile” and “Bastille”) were not changed. The single occurrence of “[Matthews]” was not changed to “Mathews” as it is not clear if the same character is meant. Similarly, it can not be decided if a horse is called “[Salim]” or “[Selim]”.
