From the Colton Storm catalogue: "Laid in is a copy of a long and interesting letter by Root in which he disclaims Connelley's part in the writing of the book. There are also references to his own experiences crossing the plains, etc. Laid in are two prospectuses, printed in 1901 and 1903, with press notices, etc., regarding the book and with manuscript notes in the margins by Root."
