To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a tree in the lower country which grows somewhat in the form of the laurel or bay tree, but much larger ; the bark is smooth, and of a bay red colour, its leaves are ovate. It has been called the strawberry tree, but I do not know with what propriety. There are no walnut or hickory trees west of the great mountains, nor chestnut of any species, or hard or sugar maple, or beech, lind or bass M r ood, black cherry, cucumber, white wood, elms, or any kind of birch, except a species of bla...ck birch Avhich grows small ; nor are there any of the species of locusts, hackberry, or buckeye. I might lengthen out the catalogue of negatives, but the above observations are sufficient to give a general view of the forest-trees of the country. The variety of shrubbery and plants is so great, that it would employ the botanist many months in their examination. I shall only sketch a few of those which are scattered over the prairies and through the forests. Among these are several varieties of the thorn-bush, many of which are large and fruitful.
