Chapter 9 No.9

? Page 67 and Page 69: Back-country was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. On Page 67, the same word was used with a hyphen in the middle of a line in the clause: "there came from the back-country..." Therefore, the hyphen was retained in the two places in question: "as in all the back-country counties," (Page 67) and "followers in the back-country." (Page 69)

? Page 76: There appears to be missing quotes around the introductory clause attributed to Jonathan Sewell in page 76: [We read the resolutions, said Jonathan Sewell,...]. In the Preface, Becker cautioned that he would use an unorthodox method of telling the story to give "quality and texture of the state of mind and feeling of an individual or class." As transcribers, we will simply say that the quotation marks here match those in the printed book, and thus, we assume that Becker intended to leave the introductory clause of Sewell unquoted for subtle reasons implied in the Preface.
