To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inevitable had to be accepted. "The ground was more thickly covered than ever with the pointed fragments of rocks. . . . They appeared to have been dashed against the ground and firmly embedded in it when the surface was soft. I had advanced from 10 to 12 miles, and it had been painful to ride the horses on such ground. Splinters from 1 to 2 in. Flew from their hoofs as they struck them against the fragments of rocks they could not avoid. ... I found, therefore, that I had insurmountable di...fficulties to contend against, and I made up my mind to turn back. It is a remarkable fact, and one that strongly proves the dry and uninhabitable state of the country, on the line on which we had been moving we had not seen a living creature, either beast or bird, if I except the seafowl. The deathlike stillness of these solitudes is awful and oppressive. . . . When I descended into the interior I expected to find to a certain distance a sandy desert, but I had every hope that it would terminate in an inland sea.
