[Transcriber Notes]
The author spelled powderhorns on [Page 46], but used a hyphen for powder-horns on [Page 208]. The inconsistencies were retained.
On [Page 58] and [Page 142] the word pack-horse was hyphenated between two lines. Since the author wrote pack-horse five times in the middle of a sentence, with the hyphen, and did not write packhorse, both words were transcribed pack-horse.
On [Page 119], Tach-nech-dor-us was hyphenated between two lines. We transcribed the name with hyphens after each syllable, Tach-nech-dor-us, just as was done in the index.
The author referred to the back water men on [Page 204]. On [Page 201], the “backwater men” were quoted. Major Patrick Ferguson capitalized Back Water, separated the syllables by a space, but alternately capitalized Men on [Page 203], while not doing so in his proclamation presented on [Page 213]. In the same chapter, there were four different spellings for the same word, which we retained, and only point out to indicate that this is not an error in transcription.
On [Page 299] in the index, changed the spelling of Opomingo to Opimingo to match the spelling in the text, for the index entry: Mountain Leader (Opomingo).
