Note M-16 — MEMOIR OF ZEBULON MONTGOMERY PIKE. BY ELLIOTT COUES.
Reading edition
Cited from Hezekiah Niles' Weekly Register, III. No. 9, pp. 133, 134, Oct. 31st, 1812, into which it was copied from the Philadelphia Aurora, headed "15th Regiment. To the editor of the Aurora." I copy literally from the Register, but with modern punctuation, as I shall do in subsequent extracts from the same source.
