Transcriber's Notes:
Typographical errors in spelling and punctuation repaired; variant
spellings changed when there was a clear majority.
The following variant spellings were retained: "depot" (used for New
Orleans) and "depôt" (used for rail-road); "moschetoes" and
"mosquitoes"; "enquir" and "inquir" roots (used equally);
"Pittsburg" (Miss.) and "Pittsburgh" (Pa.); "Cleaveland" (Ohio) (per
Columbia Gazetteer of the World, this was the original name, after its
founder Moses Cleaveland); "Zimple" and "Zimpel"; "regime" and
"régime."
Hyphenation variants changed to majority use (with priority on usage
in headings and text, over usage in index or tables); retained when
equal (wood-lands and woodlands, re-transferred and retransferred,
pre-eminence and preeminently). "steam-boat" and "steam boat" changed
to "steamboat" except on p. 27, where "Steam Boat" is used for the
first appearance of a new technology.
Punctuation after chapter and section headings, and illustration
captions (periods, commas, no punctuation) was inconsistent;
standardized to no punctuation. Brackets around "see Route" references
changed to more frequent parentheses.
P. 20, "Vandreuil" corrected to "Vaudreuil."
P. 73, Meteorological table has been split for better displaying (text
only).

for time period.
P. 147, "Tchapitoulas" corrected to "Tchoupitoulas."
P. 174, "cotemporaries" retained; per OED, this was a common period
variant for contemporaries.
P. 205, Route 4; "Tombigkbe" changed to "Tombigbee."
P. 206, Savannah. Original shows cumulative miles 2196. Transposition
repaired.
