Transcription Notes:
Edited: would like to know if ok to change what author wrote or whether we are supposed to transcribe as it is on page. My understanding is to transcribe what the author entered in the journal. Per instructions removed the symbols and replaced with text, added text denoted by ditto marks, removed duplicate entries, corrected some errors, added inserts and strikethroughs omitted from previous transcriber, other format items, etc.
[[Previous notes:
I changed some of the names researched in Hall's book; and all the superscript s's to (s9) for easier transcribing and reading. These sequences are Hall recording his throwing the Sledge Log p521 & 539 in his book, by which he measures distance travelled. Corrected a lot of the spellings of name. Restored many lines that were omitted in the transcription. Hall nearly killed himself when he bent over to pick up something and his pistol fell out of his pocket, hit a rock and sent a bullet whizzing past his ear (p. 112 of Hall's book).
