To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
rich are the springs with salt at one spot, that a large establishment for evaporating the water and mak- ing salt is in operation, and holds a profitable mo- nopoly of the salt market of the state. We made a fine noon camp by one of the everlasting Plattes, and trout-catching was brisk for an hour. Here, too, we had another Indian raid, — the out- posts of our old Middle Park Utes, who had heard the story of the Plain Indians coming up into the South Park, and moved over in a body to dispos- s...ess them, came wildly and joyfully riding in upon us, a dozen or two, with some white friends from Fairplay. So our escort doubled, and we trav- eled across the Park with as large and as motley a retinue as ever Oriental prince moved among >over the deserts of Asia. Only, with true Ameri- can individuality, we scattered wildly about, and lingered or hurried at pleasure over the wide open plains, dotted with occasional hill and lake, the lat- ter repeated by mirage in the distance, or by the deceptive resemblance of an alkali field, and circled by the far-distant, far-reaching mountains.
