Transcriber Notes

This document was transcribed from the Abraham Lincoln Edition of Volume 12 of the Chronicles of America series, but more closely matches the Textbook Edition. The Abraham Lincoln edition has eight pages of photos and two maps depicting the northern and southern campaigns of The Revolutionary War. The Textbook Edition of The Chronicles of America series omits the illustrations available in the Abraham Lincoln Edition. The illustrations have not been scanned in, so consider this book the equivalent of the Textbook Edition. We have also transcribed the index and added hyperlinks to the pages for ease of use. You will not see the page numbers in epub or Kindle books, but the anchors should still remain. P289 - The author misspelled Kennett Square, PA. The mushroom capital of the world was the home of Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Herb Pennock, who was in the starting rotation for the Boston Red Sox when this book was written, but not yet a star. Pennock earned his Hall of Fame stripes starting for the Murderer's Row Yankees. The left-handed pitcher was nick-named The Knight of Kennett Square because his descendants migrated with William Penn. The author spelled the town Kenneth Square.
