Chapter XVII
• Page 270:
Far-flung is hyphenated for spacing and split between two lines in the clause “along the farflung frontier of Kentucky.” There are no other occurrences of the word. Far-away, far-visioned, and far-reaching were used in the book. Far west, far north, and far faint were used in the book, but replacing the hyphen with a space is not an option in transcribing hyphenated words. There weren’t any options with far being part of a conjoined word. The hyphen was retained in far-flung.
• Page 283:
Flat-boats is hyphenated for spacing and split between two lines in the clause: “about thirty flatboats, dugouts.” On Page 285, flatboats is not hyphenated, so the hyphen was not kept in transcribing the same word on page 283.
• Page 286:
Co-partners is hyphenated for spacing and split between two lines in the clause: “contract between the copartners.” There were no other occurrences of the word. We did not use the hyphen here.
• Page 287:
Entry-taker is hyphenated for spacing and split between two lines in the clause: “the entry-taker being appointed by Judge Henderson.” On Page 220, “entry-Taker” was used in a quote from Joseph Martin. There were no other occurrences of the word. We retained the hyphen.
