Transcriber's Notes:
Except for the inline drawings on page 229, the maps and photos are low-resolution "thumbnails". Click on a thumbnail to display a high-resolution image.
The editor retained the page numbering of the original book in brackets [143]. These have been changed to braces {143} so as not to conflict with footnotes in the text version. In a few cases, page numbers within words have been moved to the following interword space.
Errors in punctuation and diacritical marks in French were fixed.
The following words appear in alternate spellings and have not been changed: "buffalos" / "buffaloes", "carcases" / "carcasses", "chisel" / "chissel", "dependence" / "dependance", "eat" / "eaten" / "ate", "fur" / "furr", "Prince of Wales Fort" / "Prince of Wales's Fort", "snowshoe(s)" / "snow-shoe(s)", "Stony" / "Stoney", "tittymeg" / "tittimeg" / "tittameg" / "tittemeg", "wolvarine" / "wolverene" / "wolvereen".
