Transcriber’s Notes:
Archaic and variable spelling has been preserved as printed in the original book except as noted at the end of this text. A list of these changes can be found [there.]
Variations in the spelling of the Molalla Indian tribe have been retained.
Missing or extra quotation marks and minor inconsistencies of punctuationwere silently corrected. However, punctuation has not been changed to comply with modern standards. Inconsistency in hyphenation also has been retained.
Footnotes have been renumbered consecutively and placed at the end of each chapter.
Illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they are not in the middle of a paragraph.
All missing page numbers were intentionally omitted in the original publication.
