In the original text, the total is not as obvious: "That consisted of an actual settlement of seven hundred eighty-nine men, two hundred seven women and fifteen children under the age of thirteen. In the course of the next year, three hundred fifteen women, nine men and two children were added by immigration.") | |

I remember reading it when I was probably 11 or 12 and was so stuck on myself that I called others "noncompos" for awhile. Needless to say, I was a bit of a geek at the time. My wife and kids would argue that I still am. | |
