Transcriber's Note:Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. Others are listed below. Original spelling and its variations were not standardized.Word combinations that appeared with and without hyphens were changed to the predominant form if it could be determined, or to the hyphenated form if it could not.Corrections in the spelling of names were made when those could be verified. Otherwise the variations were left as they were.Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which they they belonged and numbered in one continuous sequence.Variant forms retained and errors corrected:Athabasca or Athapuscow Lake (pp. 106, 386). Athapuscow is spelling in French texts. Both forms were retained.Philip 'Turner' changed to Philip 'Turnor' (p. 127).Astor 'brought' out changed to 'bought' out (p. 194).'it the' grandest speech changed to 'it was the' grandest speech p. 407).Other notes:Transcription of the Seven Oaks Monuments inscription (p. 232):SEVENOAKSERECTED IN 1891BY THEMANITOBA HISTORICAL SOCIETYTHROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF THECOUNTESS OF SELKIRKON THE SITE OF SEVEN OAKSWHERE FELLGOVERNOR ROBERT SEMPLE ANDTWENTY OF HIS OFFICERS AND MENJUNE 19 1816"The map on page 384 should be consulted...." 384 changed to 388 (p. 386).In Appendix B, page 490, the row "Radisson goes on expedition to the Antilles" is missing the date in the original.The location of some illustrations was changed but their pagination in the List of Illustrations was not and may therefore be incorrect.
