Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks corrected.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of
inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Page 192: “four hundred of the Indians had been massacred” was printed

reasonable, than one acre”.
Page 265: “ascendency” was printed that way.
Page 365: “consumate” was printed that way.
