The Shades of the Wilderness: A Story of Lee's Great Stand

Joseph Alexander Altsheler
XVI. Spottsylvania

Appendix: Transcription Notes

 

Appendix:  Transcription notes: 

The following modifications were applied while transcribing the printed book to etext: 

 Chapter 1
   Page 6, para 1, change “criticise” to “criticize”, for consistency
   Page 20, para 6, fix typo, “calvaryman”
   Page 21, para 8, change “things” to “thing”

 Chapter 2
   Page 35, para 2, add missing hyphen in “commander-in-chief”

 Chapter 3
   Page 48, para 1, change “where-ever” to “wherever”
   Page 49, para 2, fix typo, period should be comma
   Page 49, para 2, change “gaints” to “giants”, which is my best guess
     as to what it should be

 Chapter 4
   Page 74, para 7, add missing period

 Chapter 7
   Page 124, para 6, fix typo “qouth”
   Page 132, para 14, “Pleasonton” should be “Pleasanton”

 Chapter 10
   Page 182, para 5, add missing close-quotes

 Chapter 11
   Page 208, para 6, add missing close-quotes

 Chapter 12
   Page 229, para 3, fix typo, “dulplicate”

 Chapter 13
   Page 245, para 3, change “with” to “was”

 Chapter 14
   Page 260, para 2, removed a badly-misplaced comma

 Chapter 16
   Page 301, para 4, moved a badly-misplaced comma

Chapter 2, page 34, para 3 contains the phrase “rest and realization”.  Probably should be “relaxation”, but maybe not, so I left it as is.

The following words were printed with accented vowels or with the “ae” ligature, but these few occurrences hardly warrant an 8-bit version of the text: 
  cooperation fete reentered Plataea Thermopylae

As with all the books in this series, there are many instances where commas seem to be missing or misplaced, but, except as noted above, I refrained from “fixing” these.
