Transcriber's note:
Tables within a paragraph have been relocated to immediately above or
below the relevant paragraph.
Depending on available fonts, some tables may not line up vertically.
Reference pages have been standardized with "ff" following the page
number and a space (e.g., 789 ff) due to the preponderance of this
style in the original work.
Both "reelected" and "re-elected" appear in the original work. They
have been standardized as "re-elected".
Both "post-office" and "postoffice" appear in the original work. Both
spellings have been retained.
Page 59: "was sent out with eight others, in March, 1851" is
inconsistent with "returned at once from California and became the head
of the colony after February, 1851." This was verified with the page
scan of the original work.
Page 112, Footnote 261: There is no footnote reference in the original
work.
Appendix 1, Table V, Nebraska: 1st row totals are off by 1.
This text has been preserved as in the original, including archaic and
inconsistent spelling, punctuation and grammar, except as noted below.
Spelling changes are shown within single quotes. Other changes are
shown in curly brackets, { }, for clarity.
Obvious printer's errors have been silently corrected.
Page 37, Footnote 64: {1837."} changed to {1837.}.
Page 75, Footnote 168: The footnote anchor is missing but it is
believed that it should be on page 75 in the paragraph ending, {Swedes
are found in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania.[168]}.
Page 76: {men as General Stohlbrand} should probably be {men as General
Stolbrand}.
Page 87: {$86,000:} changed to {$86,000;}.
Page 98: {rather are they} changed to {rather they are}.
Page 127, Footnote 306: 'lutherke' changed to 'lutherske'.
Page 153: 'reelection' changed to 're-election' for consistency.
Page 185: {(especially vols. XV. (1901) and XIX (1902), contains}
changed to {(especially vols. XV (1901) and XIX (1902)), contains}.
Page 185: {(42 Cong., 1 Sess., H. Mis. Doc. No. 19, (1871); and}
changed to {(42 Cong., 1 Sess., H. Mis. Doc. No. 19, (1871)); and}.
Page 192: {(in _Proceedings_ of National Conference of Charities and
Correction, (1899); F. H. B. MacDowell,} changed to {(in _Proceedings_
of National Conference of Charities and Correction, (1899)); F. H. B.
MacDowell,}.
