Notes:

"Originally written in French, with the redundant and highly 'flowery' language peculiar to that idiom--much of the grand excellence of the book is lost to American readers, who love directness of speech and precision in narrative. This minor blemish--if such it may be termed--has stood in the way of the wide circulation of the volumes which, in Europe, have run like wildfire over the great field of literature. A comparatively slight revision adapts these noted works to the American taste. This revision having been confided by us to most competent hands, American readers will now be able to enjoy what, hitherto, has been denied them, Gustave Aimard Americanized!" -- cover.
