TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: A number of printer's errors have been corrected. However, most spelling variants are left as printed, except where the likelihood of an error seems strong; (e.g. emcamped/encamped, ryhme/rhyme). Consult the Notes at the end of this text for specific corrections. Schoolcraft renders Indian language in English characters using his own conventions. Therefore, the printed spelling of these words has been observed as printed, with only several exceptions, where it seems very clear from adjacent spellings that there have been printer's errors. The figure 8 is set horizontally to represent a phonetic sound. In this text these characters are simulated by [oo] and [OO] for lower- and upper-case. The 'oe' ligature is rendered as [oe] in transliteration but simply 'oe' elsewhere ('æsofoedita', 'manoeuvre'). The text of pages 286 and 287 are printed in reverse order. Although pagination is continuous, there is at least one page of text missing before the text beginning on p. 288. At p. 300, the text again ends abruptly, with a new section beginning on p. 301.
