I'm very late in creating an errata sheet for Conscience of The Constitution, but here it is. So far I have only one significant error to report, but will update if people will email me with errors they spot.
On page 169, note 69, I say that Justice Samuel Chase was Justice Salmon Chase's great-grandfather. This was in error. They were not related; Salmon did have a great-grandfather named Samuel, but he was a different guy. Who knew? But I am correct in saying that Salmon was paraphrasing Justice Samuel Chase in this paragraph.
I also made a number of minor corrections before the paperback edition appeared, but they're just typos, so I won't list them here.
Please email me if you find an error, and I'll post it! Thanks!
(I have an errata sheet for Right to Earn A Living here. I didn't make one for Cornerstone of Liberty yet, but the second edition is coming in February and I'll put one together then.)
2/16/16 - Chief Justice John Vaughan's name is misspelled on p. 99.
8/3/16 - On p. 67, I say the Colfax Massacre happened on the same day the Slaughterhouse Cases were announced. Slaughterhouse was announced April 14, 1873. Off by a day: the Colfax Massacre was on April 13. (People often get the date of Slaughterhouse wrong. It appears in the 1872 volume of the U.S. Reports (vol. 83) because it was argued in the 1872 term. But the opinion itself says it was announced in April of 1873.)
1/30/17 - On p. 178, n. 69, Hurtado is misspelled Hurdado.
