These errors appear in the first edition of Calamity: The Heppner Flood of 1903. Joann Byrd regrets every one:

1. The title of Mark Highberger's 2003 book is Days of Sorrow. It is not Days of Sorrow in Heppner, as reported on pages ix and xvi. So on page 167, note 44, the June 18, 1903, Heppner Gazette headline, "Days of Sorrow in Heppner" did not become the title of Highberger's book, but contributed to the title.

2. Stefanie Simmons' first name is misspelled as Stephanie on pages xiii, 147 (note 7) and 181 (Lena Kelly entry).

3. Palace Hotel guest N. L. Tooker was a salesman for Fairbanks Morse Co. The company's name was incorrectly written Fairbanks, Morris on page 6.

4. R. Stephen Thompson's first name is misspelled as Steven on pages 90 and 200.

5. Several mistakes appear in the sketches of flood victims James H. and Mina Long and Rebecca Long Howard, all on pages 125, 129 and 130:

a. Rebecca Long Howard was James H. Long's aunt, not his sister.

b. James and Mina Long had nine children.

c. A child with initials C.E. was born to James and Mina Long in August 1901 in Yakima, but died before the family moved into Heppner, and is buried in the family cemetery on Freezeout Ridge. She could not have been the Amy Long adopted by a Morrow County family in 1903, about whom I speculated on page 130.
