We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

“Well, there’s always a doctor on the lot. He just came over to our set and tended me there.”
“Oh, I see. Well did you have to come home in an ambulance?”
