TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
All changes in the Errata, found at the end of the narrative and before the main Index, have been applied to the etext.
Other obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
On some handheld devices it may be necessary to use a small font size to see the complete list of names on some pages (Muster Rolls, second part of the book.)
More detail can be found at the [end of the book].
