Transcriber’s Note

The author’s footnotes have been moved to the end of the volume.

The following typographical errors were corrected:

page 70, “wagon train” changed to “wagon-train”
page 73, “orced” changed to “forced”
page 86, “kulking” changed to “skulking”
page 125, “way” changed to “way.”
page 140, “At” changed to “As”

In addition, several missing, superfluous or misplaced quote marks have been corrected.

Variations in spelling (“pass-word” and “password”, “tear-drop” and “teardrop”, “bastile” and “Bastille”) were not changed. The single occurrence of “Matthews” was not changed to “Mathews” as it is not clear if the same character is meant. Similarly, it can not be decided if a horse is called “Salim” or “Selim”.
