Great job on this section as well--thank you! Just one minor correction for you.

--At ~0.39 you read "Indians in Canoe", but that is the caption for an illustration in the book. So please delete that tiny part. That's it! You know the drill--upload the corrected file using same file name, post link & track length here again, and then I will spot-check. :)
Kind regards,
Lucretia

Hi Duane--

Section 36: PL OK

I will mention that typically after you have read the Book or Chapter #, Chapter Title, etc. as specified by the Intro requirements, then you don't need to repeat it another time--just proceed to the text itself. I don't think that it necessarily needs to be changed in this section and your previous recordings, but you might keep it in mind for future sections.

And I put you in for Section 38 while I was in the MW. Thanks again! :)
Kind regards,
Lucretia

Hi Larry--Thanks for the corrected file + the new files! :)

Section 68: PL OK

Section 69:
At ~1:58 the portion in red is omitted “We landed a league or two from them, and had much ado to put ashore anywhere, it lay so full of flat sands.”
At ~4:25 I hear “…found a great hurrying place” but s/b “…found a great burying place”

Section 70: PL OK
Kind regards,
Lucretia

Hi Lucretia!
Thanks so much for clarification! I wasn’t sure about whether I needed to repeat those titles as it did seem redundant so won’t any more and I’m happy to remove the repeats in previous chapters if you think it best. Have a great weekend!
