I don't blame the author for recycling--all history texts recycle to a certain extent--but I still hold to the stance that if you are building a reference book, hen you include the citations in the text.
But he had plenty of citations.

I personally prefer numbered footnotes, but endnotes keyed to lines of text is common for nonscholarly works. For one thing, it's cheaper.
