To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not a Mexico or a Peru, with emblazoned palaces and glittering tem- ples, nor yet a California, with gold-flecked sands.
It was merely an unending stretch of wooded hills and grassy plains, bedecked with majestic forests and fructifying rivers and lakes. It had no treasures save for the man of courage, indus- try, and patience; but for such it held home, broad acres, liberty, and the coveted opportunity for so- cial equality and advancement.
The new country has been commonly thought of, ...and referred to by writers on the history of the West, as a " wilderness*'; and offhand, one might suppose that the settlers were obliged literally to hew their way through densely grown vegetation to the spots which they selected for tneir homes.
110 PIONEER DAYS AND WAYS 111 In point of f act» there were great areas of upland — not alone in the prairie country of northern Indiana and Illinois, but in the hilly regions within a hundred miles of the Ohio — that were almost treeless. On these unobstructed stretches grasses grew in profusion; and here roamed great herds of herbivorous animal-kind — deer and elk, and also buffalo, ^^ filing in grave procession to drink at the rivers, plunging and snorting among the rapids and quicksands, rolling their huge bulk on the grass, rushing upon each other in hot en- counter, like champions under shield/' Along the watercourses ducks, wild geese, cranes, herons, and other fowl sounded their harsh cries; gray squirrels, prairie chickens, and partridges the hunter found at every turn.
