To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But about three o'clock an aide-de-camp arrived with orders. We werecommanded to take arms.
Our sharpshooters marched into the plain, We followed slowly, and intwenty minutes we saw the outposts of the Russians falling back andentering the redoubt. We had a battery of artillery on our right, another on our left, but both some distance in advance of us. Theyopened a sharp fire upon the enemy, who returned it briskly, and theredoubt of Cheverino was soon concealed by volumes of thick smoke. Ourre...giment was almost covered from the Russians' fire by a piece of risingground. Their bullets (which besides were rarely aimed at us, for theypreferred to fire upon our cannoneers) whistled over us, or at worstknocked up a shower of earth and stones.
Just as the order to advance was given, the captain looked at meintently. I stroked my sprouting mustache with an air of unconcern; intruth, I was not frightened, and only dreaded lest I might bethought so. These passing bullets aided my heroic coolness, while myself-respect assured me that the danger was a real one, since I wasveritably under fire.
