To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Travellers invariably refer with delight, and sometimes with the greatest enthusiasm, to their journeys a-camel-back. And this — though apart from a strictly economic view of the subject — is an important consideration ; the pleasure to be derived, and the vigorous health to be acquired, by a system of camel-riding. Genuine camel-riding I mean — not as we stiffen up our nautical nerves by a trip from the Elysian Fields, round the light-ship, and so back to New York — but camel-riding, day after... day, for a succession of days — a trip to Colorado or Salt Lake, or down to Albuquerque, or Santa Fe. It would do us good. I think it might become fashionable. Americans need a little change of this sort. They are too much in the sugar and cotton line, as Halleck says. They deal too exclu- sively with the inanimate forces of nature for their own real comfort, tl el ving in mines, going down into wells after oil, put- ting steam into harness to ride behind it, and otherwise shame- fully abusing it.
