Boy, I had an uncomfortable half-hour with Chapter 21! :?

During my edit I noted I'd missed almost two lines of text. So I went back into my 'studio' and re-recorded the paragraph. Back at my desk and ... the same lines are missing! :shock:

- Turns out, my reading tablet was keyed on a DIFFERENT Gutenberg edition of the book, one which incidentally, had been downloaded many more times and had even been updated last year. But when I set up the solo, I apparently referenced a different edition, with different dates, and carrying the extra lines. That's what I've been editing from on my desktop computer, and I expect, what you're using. After I discovered this, I reset my tablet for the alternate and read the passage a third time.

That is the first text difference I've detected in these 21 chapters.

Anyway, Chapters 20 and 21 are now up! :D :D

Another tough day of editing... My recording laptop had hiccups and created 5 dropouts, each of up to a minute and a half, that I had to go back, re-record, and patch in. And then I got balled up and patched in the wrong order! So if Chapter 22 leaves you scratching your head - it did mine, too! (But I'll fix it!) I THINK it's right.

FINAL CHAPTER is up! :D

Boy, I hoped Crane was going to pull this book out of the mud at the end, but nope - he literally stuck it back in the mud, almost in the last paragraph!
Can't say I enjoyed this one.

By the way, I asserted a claim to the cover some weeks ago, am working on it, and expect to submit in a day or two. :thumbs:
I'll also finalize the summary, Laurie.

Thank you for putting "full summary will be substituted later" in the first one so I don't accidentally use it (it's already in the database) :D

Summary for the catalog:

A youth, caught up in patriotic fervor and dreams of glory, enlists in the Union Army. In his first battle, though, he runs away.

Deeply ashamed of his cowardice, and imagining the snickers and gibes of comrades behind his back, he rejoins his unit and in later fights puts himself in the vanguard, where his battle frenzy awes his companions. He is seeking a battle wound – his own red badge of courage.

Great! I've plugged that in and started the cataloging process. I'll post back when deriving at Archive is finished (might not be until tomorrow).
