To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever property thedeceased has--lodge, arms, or ponies--if a will was made, it wascarefully carried out; if not, all was scrambled for by the relatives. I have often had, when a man wanted to go out of mourning, to supplythe necessary clothing to cover his nakedness.
"Further mourning observances were and are, the women relativesgetting on some elevated spot near where the body rests, and keepingup a dismal wail, frequently even in extreme cold weather, the greaterpart of the night, and this... is kept up often for a month. No cremationor burying in a grave was practiced by them at any time. Pained byoften coming on skeletons in trees and the stench of half-consumedremains in the brush, and shocked by the frequent mutilations visible, I have reasoned with the poor savages. In one case, when a woman wasabout to cut off a finger in evidence of her grief for the loss of achild, she consented on entreaty to cut off only one joint, and onfurther entreaty was brought to merely making a cut and letting outsome blood.
