To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great Ore- gon Indian war of some years ago was clearly pro- voked by whites, as a means of speculating in sup- THE INDIANS, AND THE " SLANG." 367 plies for carrying on the war against them. The lust of coarse white men for their women; the introduction of whiskey among them; abuse and maltreatment in various ways are the origin of a good many Indian outrages, and these lead into al- most necessary wars of extermination. The Indian revenges indiscriminately ; when he turns, he falls on inno...cent as likely as on guilty ; and so wars arise, and go on. Often, doubtless, too, is this the case. East and West : mean and sordid whites' stir the Indian's blood, teach him the ways of mischief, wherein ignorance and barbarity have made him an apt scholar, and robbery, murder and war ensue in order. The path of government duty is difficult to trace through such crossing links of criminality; but the ends of keeping the lines of travel open, the telegraph unbroken, emigration safe, and civili- zation progressing, are certain.
