Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unpaired quotation marks were retained except as noted below. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Text uses both "Haines Bluff" and "Haines's Bluff". Text uses both "DuPont" and "Du Pont" when referring to the same Rear-Admiral. Some interrogative sentences ended with periods instead of with question marks; retained here. Text uses both "Alatoona" and "Allatoona". Page 88: "wofully" was printed that way. Page 104: Missing closing quotation mark added after 'ill-looking.' Page 130: "been able to oppose no obstacle" was printed that way. Pages 210-215: opening quotation mark removed from General Grant's quotation, because there were no other quotation marks in the rest of that text. Some out-of-sequence entries in the Index have been remedied, but others may remain. Page references in the Index were not checked for accuracy. Page 365: "succeeded by Halleck as commander Federal army" (under McClellan) likely is missing the word "of".
