Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Spelling errors and inconsistencies within quoted passages have not been changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected and placed after the Bibliography.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

Page 15 explains that numbers in brackets refer to Bibliography entries. One of the Transcribers has determined that, in the Index, a page number in square brackets means that on that page is a reference to the source that is cited using the Bibliography number. For example, the above entry for “Withers, Alexander S.”, refers to “[162]” and that page has a Bibliography reference to “[140]”, which is “Withers, Alexander S. Chronicles of Border Warfare”.
