Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of
inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Inconsistent possessive forms of Proper names have been made
consistent, using a government Roster of Commanders to resolve
ambiguities. In particular, General J. D. Daniel’s surname often was
misprinted as “Daniels” or “Daniels’”.
In the original book, omitted names were indicated by a series of
periods. In this eBook, four dashes (or a long em-dash) are used.
Page 51: “Christie” was misprinted as “Chirstie”; corrected here.
