Transcriber’s Notes:
One missing punctuation mark was silently corrected, however, punctuation has not been changed to comply with modern conventions. The author’s tribe names and spellings, such as Navajoe and Kioway, have been retained.
The subtitle for Chapter XXXI in the original text is slightly different from the Table of Contents and has been retained.
A List of Illustrations was added.
The following changes were made to the text.
[Page 68]: Was “were” in original text (and if the youth stayed where he was he must be trampled by the mustang)
[Page 89]: Was “as as” in original text (Your fut isn’t as promisc’us as mine)
[Page 133]: Was “Shirrill” in original text (Supposing the dusky foe was coming for him, Captain Shirril rose to a half-sitting position)
