Note

"The main part of the history of these people was thus written by Thomas S. Wilkes, who was born October 2, 1858; was the second oldest descendant yet living (seven years older than I), and certainly the one best qualified to perform that work. But just as we were getting started on the subject, he, too, was called across those eternal plains, leaving the unfinished task to less skillful hands and less extensive memory," Lincoln Ellsworth Wilkes.
