To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon reaching Cincinnati, he took passage on a steamboat bound for St. Louis, and upon arriving at the latter port he boarded another steam- boat and sailed up the Mississippi, to Burlington, Iowa. Here he met Governor Robert Lucas, of Ohio, who advised him to go further into the interior of the country and take up a tract of land. Following this ad- vice he started blindly forth with no fixed destination, finally arriving in Platte county, Missouri, and since by this time his money was all spe...nt there was nothing for him to do but remain there. Casting about in search of work, the only thing that came to hand was a position as school teacher, which he accepted. This school was located about five miles from Weston, Missouri, and about five miles north of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Saving his small wage rigorously he was able in the fall of that year to secure a tract of land of one hundred and sixty acres, part of which was paid for in cash. Thus, a mere boy, he had the cultivation of a wilderness on his hands, for his land had scarcely felt the touch of civilization.
