Original spelling and grammar has mostly been retained. Figures were moved from within paragraphs to between paragraphs. Footnotes were moved to the ends of chapters. This 1905 edition is an annotated reprint of "Part II of Gregg's Commerce of the Prairies, 1831-1839"; the pagination of the latter document is shown herein as a number enclosed in curly brackets, e.g. {226}. The pagination of the 1905 publication is shown in square brackets, e.g. [p009]. Small caps are not well supported in mobile formats, so they are reinforced with an underline herein.
The Transcriber created the cover page, and hereby places it in the public domain.
Page [78]: the phrase "invicta, la Galia indomable" is printed upside down. This was not a mistake, as it is explained in a following paragraph.
