To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, he was in a peculiar if not an embarrassing position. He had at first, with an amount of heat quite unnecessary if not unbecoming, declined the command of the army in Mexico, and afterwards had sought and obtained it by virtually retracting what he had said. He knew that the most skilful engineers in the country were the graduates of the Military Academy at West Point, and that neither he nor one of the generals on whom he must depend had ever had the advantage of a training at that i...nstitution: neither Taylor, Worth, Twiggs, Pillow, Wool, Butler, Quitman, Cadwalader, P. F. Smith, Gushing, Patter- son, Shields, or Pierce. He must get some West Point men.
Here was one celebrated for being a strict disciplinarian and clear-headed master of evolutions — one saturated with book- lore to whom an illy-schooled commander-in-chief might at any moment turn for information, as to an encyclopaedia.
For years he had been Commandant of Cadets at West Point and Instructor in Tactics. He was exemplary, extremely methodical, and even ptmctilious — well adapted to the difficult service of co-ordinating the brigades of a command and keep- ing a military household in order.
