To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The political factions which were waging war upon one another at Washington seemed too busily intent upon their petty strategies to consider the con- tinental interests of the country. Indeed, the ad- ministration at Washington seemed willing to se- cure all the advantages and run the risk of none of the calamities that mi2:ht follow from the action of the people on the coast. General Riley's proc- lamation was not allowed to pass without careful scrutiny. Polk's Secretary of State, Buchanan, w...ith dialectic skill, had diasfnosed the condition of California in his characteristic w^ay. If the people of California remained inactive politically after the conclusion of the war with Mexico, this, he thought, implied that they continued the gov- ernment which they found in existence among them at the close of that war. Buchanan's s^enius for masterly inactivity was further to be displayed before he left public life, and this chapter of his political career reads like the concluding chapter ten years later.
