Front matter

Transcriber's note: The Dalles of the Wisconsin are known today as the Wisconsin Dells. Minor punctuation errors from the original text have been corrected; any unusual capitalization from the original was kept. The formatting for lists has been standardized for easier reading. The footnotes have been placed at the end of the document instead of at the end of the page; there are links to them at their original positions in the text. I apologize for the poor quality of some of the maps; they have been made as clear as possible.
