Transcriber’s note

In the original captions for photographs/drawings were often on a separate page from its image. In these versions, they have been placed under the image.

Directional words for the phototgraphs, i.e., below, right, etc. are linked in this version and point to the correct photographs.

Minor punctuation errors have been changed without notice. Inconsistencies in hyphenation have been standardized. Spelling has been retained as published.

Index entries that were out of alphabetical order has been corrected. Also, in this version page numbers have been changed to reflect any captions that have been moved.

The name Jim Proffitt/Proffit was spelled once each way in the text. Both spellings have been retained.
