Transcriber's Note

- The table of contents and chapter headings have been maintained as in the original text. In the table of contents, all names (which act as chapter and section headings) are listed in alphabetical order in the format Lastname Firstname. In Part I of the main body the chapter headings are in the format Firstname Lastname. The section headings in Part II are in the format Lastname Firstname.

- The position of some illustrations has been changed to better fit with the context.

- Illustration captions in {brackets} have been added by the transcriber for reader convenience.

- In general, geographical references, spelling, hyphenation, and capitalization have been retained as in the original publication. This includes a number of inconsistencies across the text. For example, the Whiskey Rebellion of Pennsylvania is referred to using both the spellings whiskey and whisky. Also, variations of yoemanry (yeomanry, yoemanry).

- Minor typographical errors--usually periods and commas--have been corrected without note.

- Significant typographical errors have been corrected. A full list of these corrections is available in the Transcriber's Corrections section at the end of the book.
