Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unpaired quotation marks were retained. For example, the paragraph beginning on page 311 with "There is little doubt" and ending on page 313 with "sincerity of their protestations" contains an unpaired quotation mark. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Text uses both "reconnaissance" and "reconnoissance"; both retained. Text mostly uses "Santa Fé", so three occurrences of "Sante Fé" have been changed.
