TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

In the original text a narrative change from one battalion to another was indicated by some additional blank space. In this etext two blank lines similarly indicates this transition.

Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of each chapter or section.

The original text had a dot under the superscripts; this dot has been removed in the etext.

Six town names with āo ending have been changed to Ão for consistency.

The book title and author have been superimposed by the transcriber on the image of the original cover; this modified image is placed in the public domain.

A larger version of each map can be displayed by clicking on the map image.

Some other minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
