"Ride the River - Typo and Error"


          

Leatherette version, pg 93 4th paragraph from the top:
"We ate our brakfest then..." Should be "breakfast".

Error on pg 111 3rd paragraph from the bottom:
"We were on the Kentucky side now, but most of those West Virginia mountains had belonged to nobody."

Also, pg 119 4th paragraph from the top:
"Jesse Hughes, he was mostly over east in West Virginia"

This book is set in the 1840's and West Virginia didn't become a state until 1863, when the folks decided they didn't want to be part of the Confederacy and split off. At the time Echo and her companions were traveling through Kentucky, they would have referred to the mountains and that area "over east" as western Virginia.
