[Western Adventure] Outlaw Jack, by Harry Hazard (1848 - 1909)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/outlaw-jack-by-harry-hazard/
1850 - A year before, the Californian "gold-fever" broke out, a party of emigrants, numbering nearly one hundred under the command of Caleb Mitchell, felt fairly secure as they traveled the hard trail to find gold. However, security is marred by a sad accident in Mitchell's family early on. The quest for Gold can be complicated and dangerous, especially when it involves Outlaws! Can dreams prevail, or what and how much will be lost in this Western Outlaw tale? A truly mysterious tale with twists and turns.

Note: The author of this book is Joseph Edward Badger, who also wrote under the pseudonym Harry Hazard.
Transcriber's Note: "There is no CHAPTER X (10) heading in original text". The chapter number skips from chapter 9 to chapter 11. No chapters have been omitted from this recording. (Summary by Laurie Banza)
Source text: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/68673 (please read only from this text!):

Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

[Transcriber's Note: The is no CHAPTER X. heading in original text]
********
The book chapters are Roman Numerals, ending on Chapter XII (12). However, there IS NO Chapter X (10) as noted by the transcriber. Therefore, there is only 11 actual sections of this book.

Should I make mention of this somewhere in the recording?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have pondered, and asked the question behind the scenes. We should leave the text as it is, and then note the skip in chapters in the summary. Here are a couple of examples of what has been done in the past.
