[Edwin Stanton]

I've only read 111 pages so far but have found several mistakes. Easy access stores are called convenience stores not convenient stores; in the Cole Porter song "Don't fence me in", the line is "Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees", not cotton trees; in the song "Way out here in the cotton", the line is "soft rag to soothe my face", not woothe my face; the way people in Texas talk is a "Texas-twang", not Texas-twain. There are probably several others.

Were these mistakes corrected in later editions?
