Punctuation, hyphenation, 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.
To make this eBook easier to read, particularly on handheld devices,
some images have been made relatively larger than in the original
pamphlet, and centered, rather than offset to one side or the other;
and some were placed a little earlier or later than in the original.
Sidebars in the original have been repositioned between chapters and
identified as “[Sidebar (page nn):”, where the page reference is to the
original location in the source book. In the Plain Text version, the
matching closing right bracket follows the last line of the Sidebar’s
text and is on a separate line to make it more noticeable. In the HTML
versions, that bracket follows the colon, and each Sidebar is displayed
within a box.
Page 13: “ran of gas” is a misprint for “ran out of gas”.
Page 14: “executive office, Major Howard Rice” is a misprint for
“officer”.
Page 48: Opening quotation mark added before “The sight of”.
Page 49: “before the lines become too” probably is a misprint for
“became”.
Page 50: “100 of Hays men” probably is missing a possessive apostrophe.
