TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
Punctuation was standardized. Missing punctuation was added, where
appropriate. William Claiborne's name is also spelled 'Clayborne.' Both
were left as printed. The index entry for Augusta, GA, is out of order in
the original and was not amended. Archaic and obsolete spellings were left
unchanged. Text in italics is surrounded by underscores, _like this_.
Superscripted letters are surrounded by braces, for example, Gov{r}.
Sidenotes were moved to precede the paragraph to which each refers.
Within the text of the book, where there are references to the book's
page numbers, the section in which that page appears has been added. For
example, "(page 41)" was altered to appear as "(page 41, § 15)," so that
the reader may more easily locate the referenced text.
The following spelling corrections were made:
'da Leon' to 'de Leon' sidenote, Chapter II, § 9
'Greene' to 'Green' sidenote, Chapter VI, § 36
'Roberth' to 'Robert' Chapter VI, § 36
'browbreat' to 'browbeat' Chapter IV, § 38
'circumtances' to 'circumstances' Chapter XII, § 110
'beween' to 'between' Chapter XIV, § 121
'king Charles' to 'King Charles' index entry for Massachusetts
'Phillip's War' to 'Philip's War' twice, in the index only
The following hyphenated words were changed for consistency within the text:
