 Limitations imposed by converting to plain ASCII: 

  — Throughout the printed book, in any quasi-mathematical passages
    which use the variables “x” and “y”, those variable names are
    presented in italics.  Italics are not available in plain ASCII.

I did not modify: 

 — The printed book sometimes uses the spelling “despatch”, other
   times “dispatch”.  Also, both “intrenchments” and “entrenchments”.

 — Chapter 12, page 245, “grewsome”

 — There are a number of instances where the use of the comma in the
   printed book seems to me inappropriate, mainly in terms of commas
   inserted where I would not insert them, and also sometimes commas
   lacking where I would provide them.  However, I have adhered to
   the punctuation as printed (except for obvious printing errors,
   which are noted above).

   For example: 

     The hills rolled far away southward, and under the horizon’s rim.

     The three bade farewell to the young operator, then to almost all
     of Hubbard and proceeded in a trot for the pass.

     One day Major Hertford sent Dick, Warner, and Sergeant Whitley,
     ahead to scout.

     The two young aides carried away by success and the fire of
     battle, waved their swords continually and rushed at the
     enemy’s lines.

     Duck River, which Buell was compelled to cross, was swollen like
     all the other streams of the region, by the great rains and was
     forty feet deep.

 — The author sometimes uses a technique whereby a paragraph introducing
   a quotation ends with a colon, with the quotation following as the
   next paragraph.
