To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This commission called for all his courage and resolution, and he discharged his duty with great firm- ness and success. As illustrative of the angry and lawless passions to which he was exposed, the following facts deserve to be related : his residence was at this time in the celebrated " Vale of Wyoming, " near what is now Wilkesbarre. In the month of June, 1788, a gang of ruffians, dressed in disguise, with their faces painted black, tore him from his bed at midnight, pinioned his arms, and ...conveyed him into the depths of the forest ; there they subjected him to privation and ill treatment in a great variety of forms, fastened heavy chains upon his limbs, and repeatedly threatened to take his life. After exhausting all their arts and efforts, in a vain attempt to extort promises, in opposition to what he deemed his duty in the discharge of the trust reposed in him, they concluded not to dip their hands in his blood, and released him from his confinement. At the end of twenty days from his sudden abduction, he reappeared in the midst of his family, who had given up all expectation of ever again seeing him alive.
