e, rather than inside (though not always). In any case, I left them as is. Usually "viz" is not treated as an abbreviation, and does not have a period after it. Spelling variants where there was no obviously preferred choice were left as is. These include "ax" and "axe;" "base ball" and "base-ball;" "battlefield" and "battle-field;" "beach" and "beech," the tree; "chuckluck" and "chuck-luck;" "crowbait" and "crow-bait;" "Dearborn" and "Dearburn," who are clearly the same person; "De Golyer" and "DeGolyer," again, the same person; "enroute" and "en route;" "gray" and "grey;" "homelike" and "home-like;" "huckleberries" and "huckle-berries;" "infrequent" and "unfrequent;" "jayhawking" and "jay-hawking;" "LaFayette," "Lafayette" and "La Fayette;" "leveling" and "levelling;" "lifelike" and "life-like;" "muscadines" and "muskatines;" "'neath" and "neath;" "nosebags" and "nose-bags;" "outdoors" and "out-doors;" "outpost" and "out-post;" "Quarter-Master" and "Quartermaster;" "sharpshooter" and "sharp-shooter," along with similar derivatives; "travelled" and "traveled," as well as "travelling" and "traveling;" "warehouse" and "ware-house." Changed "3d" to "3rd" on page 5: "The 3rd Section." Changed "day-light" to "daylight" on page 8: "it was nearly daylight." Changed "guerillas" to "guerrillas" on page 14: "party of guerrillas."

I inserted an ellipsis where the error was, removing the extra line, which was "leaving the train of hard-tack to take care of itself. The train". This line appears earlier on the same page. Changed "breast-works" to "breastworks" on page 26: "Infantry building breastworks." Changed "harbour" to "harbor", and "enemys" to "enemies" on page 36: "that harbor the enemies." Changed "reimbark" to "reembark" on page 37: "Ordered to reembark." Changed "small-pox" to "smallpox" on page 42: "two cases of smallpox." Changed "ecstacy" to "ecstasy" on page 77: "in ecstasy too great." Changed "nigth" to "night" on page 86: "It rained nearly all night." Changed "today" to "to-day" on page 90: "Feel first rate to-day." Changed "opporunity" to "opportunity" on page 92: "gave me an opportunity." Changed "she-bang" to "shebang" on page 98: 'comfortable in our "shebang".' On page 107, a sentence begins "J ----". Probably this should be either "J
