To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
BARKETT, ESQ. Dear Sir: In June, 1805, Abe was brought to my studio, and posed 1 on his perch for a model in clay, full size, of his eagleship. Think I took six or eight sittings. I produced from it a model in plaster, with wings partly spread, and arranged to surmount a monumental shaft or column, holding a flag in its beak, the flag drooping down and cov ering part of the column. Two of these were made in marble for monu ments one ordered by the cadets of West Point for a monument to a de cea...sed comrade, erected at Macomb, in this State; the other for a soldiers monument I forget where it was erected. The model was burnt up in the great fire. When at work on the model of Old Abe I had to keep a sharp lookout for his beak and claws. When I applied the callipers to measure him, and would steal up to him in front, rear or flank as silently as possible, when he appeared asleep, instantly his keen eyes would open with a flash; sometimes he would snatch the callipers with his claws from my hands and drop them to the floor.
