To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The last tract or zone is found in the highlands that rise gradually into rocky foot-hills, and terminate in the ranges or ribs which run eastward from the main Andean chain, Digitized by Google 248 VENEZUELA and separate the valleys that are drained by the Amazon and the Orinoco. It is in these mountains that the mines are found.
Aside from the raining camps the scattered inhabitants of the interior are Indians, chiefly Caribs, and a few half- breeds of Carib and negro blood called Cobungrus. ...They retain the many good qualities of the aborigines, and add the physique and strength of the West Indian negro. They are industrious, intelligent, and docile, hospitable to stran- gers, and always ready to furnish food and assistance.
They love the open air, and hate to work in the mines.
Their houses consist of four posts supporting a roof of palm-leaves. Sometimes thin walls are made of braided leaves and rushes to shelter them from the sun and storms.
The men are usually naked, except for a loin-cloth of dark- blue cotton and ornaments of alligator's teeth; monkey's teeth, snake rattles, and other trophies of the chase.
