f the West Chapter 4, everywhere: Star of the West Chapter 5, page 96: Mercury, Star of the West Chapter 6 and 7: Baltic Chapter 12: Star of the West - The word "marquee" in chapter 15 was presented in the printed book with an accented "e" I did not modify: - The following sentence in chapter 1 does not seem quite right, but I am not sure how to change it, if I would change it: George Kenton, having inherited much land in Kentucky, and two or three plantations further south had added to his property by good management. - There are a number of instances where the use of the comma in the printed book seems to me inappropriate, mainly in terms of commas inserted where I would not insert them, and also sometimes commas lacking where I would provide them. However, I have adhered to the punctuation as printed (except for obvious printing errors, which are noted above). For example: His abounding youth made him consider as weak and unworthy, an emotion which a man would merely have reckoned as natural. Forty or fifty thousand, men, women and children, were looking on, but nothing more than a murmur ran through the great mass. The sea itself, is against them. Two heavier crashes showed that the cannon were also coming into play, and one shell striking within the fort, exploded, wounding a half dozen men. The belt of forest into which he had ridden, ran along the crest of a hill, where the soil evidently had been considered too thin for profitable cultivation. - Each section of verse is formatted to appear similar to its presentation in the printed book. Consequently: some verse is indented more than others, some is left-aligned, some is staggered on the left margin, some is center-aligned. - The author sometimes uses a technique whereby a paragraph introducing a quotation ends with a colon, with the quotation following as the next paragraph.
