• Page 98:
Céloron de Bienville is spelled with a grave accent despite the correct
spelling (according to Wikipedia) of Céloron on Page 46. The spelling in
the book was retained.
Chapter VIII
• Page 127:
Half-breed is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing
purposes, giving us two choices on how to transcribe the word. On Page
141, half-breed with the hyphen appears in the middle of a line. That
was the only other occurrence of the word in the book. Therefore, we
kept the hyphen.
Chapter IX
• Page 133:
Life-time is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing
purposes, giving us two choices on how to transcribe the word. There was
no other occurrence of life-time or lifetime in the book. We kept the
hyphen.
Chapter XII
• Page 181:
Court-room is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing in the
clause "the Regulators took possession of the court-room." On page 180,
court-room is spelled with a hyphen in the middle of a sentence, so we
retained the hyphen here.
• Page 194:
There is a printer's mistake on page 194: the first line of page 194 is
actually the last line of page 194. The line "ston River, south and east
of Long Island;" which is on the top line of page 194 in the printed
book, should be on the bottom line, below "however, to the settlement
north of the Hol-." We have transcribed the book making this adjustment
to the text.
• Page 195: We have removed (See map for settlement and treaty lines.)
because our transcription does not have images scanned.
Chapter XIV
• Page 224:
(Compare map.) after "including the Nolichucky Valley." was removed
because maps and images have not been scanned and included in our
transcription of the book.
Chapter XVI
• Page 266:
Rendez-voused was hyphenated for spacing and split between two lines in
the clause "Colonel William Christian rendez-voused." Rendezvous is
written without the hyphen on pages 59, 203, 226, and 292. Therefore,
the hyphen was omitted in transcribing rendezvoused.
