INDEX.


N. B.—This index covers all the matter of the two preceding volumes, both
of main text and notes thereto. It is mainly an index of names, proper and
common, without analysis of what comes under them. All proper names are
intended to be indexed in every place where they occur, except a few of incessant
recurrence, in the cases of which some selection is made. Of common
names the list is quite full, though it is exclusive, as a rule, of mere mention or
allusion. Proper are distinguished from common nouns by capitalization, the
same as they would be if occurring in ordinary sentences. The arrangement
of the entries is intended to be strictly alphabetical, without regard to the logical
order in which phrase-names and phrases would follow one another; thus,
Mountjoy's name comes between Mt. Hosmer and Mt. Keyes; various Sandy
things interrupt the canon of Spanish saints whose names begin with San; and
so on. Contractions and abbreviations are alphabetized as if they were spelled
out. Place-names which are phrases are entered as usually spoken or written,
but a great many of them are also re-entered in another form or in other forms;
as, Rio Conejos and Conejos r. Alternative and variant names of the same
thing are all entered, but cross-references are made only in special cases.
Roman numerals all refer to pages of the introductory matter in Vol. I.; the
unbroken pagination of the rest of the work obviates reference by vol. for the
Arabic figures. Besides serving the usual purpose, this index has been made
the depository of various belated items, which do not appear elsewhere in the
work, and really contains no little additional information, with here and there a
correction.


Usual abbreviations or contractions for names of States and Territories, civic
and military titles, etc.; also, the following:


Ark. r., Arkansaw river; br., branch (of a stream); chf., (Indian) chief;
co., county; cr., creek; fk., fork (of a stream); Ind., Inds., Indian, Indians;
isl., island; l., lake; ldg., landing; Miss. r., Mississippi river; Mo. r., Missouri
river; Mt., mt., Mount, mountain; pk., peak; pra., prairie; pt., point;
r., river; rap., rapid or rapids; res., (Indian) reservation; R. R., Ry., railroad,
railway; sl., slough; spr., spring, springs; st., street; St., Saint; sta.,
(railroad) station; tp., township.
