NDEX 



The following pages contain a subject index to the entries already- 

 given in the Chronology. An effort has been made to bring together 

 under the same heading, so far as possible, all the items relating to 

 one subject and to include enough cross references to facilitate ready 

 reference. The entries, alphabetically arranged, are given in the 

 briefest possible form under subject, State, and year. Each separate 

 entry is chronological in arrangement. Upon reference to the 

 proper date in the Chronology a reference will usually be found to 

 the statute or other source of original information. 



In some cases entries include dates prior to 1776, the initial date 

 of this index. Such earlier references have been included for the 

 sake of completeness, and are inclosed in parentheses to indicate 

 that they are not mentioned in the Chronology.
