(2) TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: This text is a compilation and reprint of articles from a variety of Schoolcraft's works. No attempt was made by the printer to regularize the appearance, nor to provide a table of contents. There is no standard organization, therefore, by chapter or section, and the transitions between sources are not usually obvious. The relative sizes of titles and subtitles have been kept, insofar as it was possible. The text of pages 286 and 287 were printed in reverse order. Although pagination is continuous, there is at least one page of text missing before the text beginning on p. 288. The pages are given here in the correct order, with the original pagination retained. At p. 300, the text again ends abruptly, with a new section beginning on p. 301. Transcriber Notes are added at those places to alert the reader to the gaps. Many printer's errors have been corrected. Most spelling variants are left as printed, except where the likelihood of a typo seems strong; (e.g. emcamped/encamped, ryhme/rhyme) or there are other examples in the immediate vicinity. Consult the Notes at the end of this text for specific changes. Minor inconsistencies of punctuation in the tabular text have been resolved. Schoolcraft renders Indian language in English characters using his own conventions. Therefore, the printed spelling of these words has been observed as printed, with only several exceptions, where it seems very clear from adjacent spellings that there have been printer's errors. On p. 227, the figure 8 is used, “set horizontally, to express a peculiar sound”. The upper and lower cases have here been rendered as ∞ and ∞. These might not render properly, depending on the available fonts on your computer. Footnotes have been moved to the back of the text, with anchors provided for quick navigation. The Table of Contents given here did not appear in the original, but is provided for ease of navigation. A hierarchy is followed where the extracts seem to warrant it.
