To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Late that evening Captain Frankel heard from the general and tendered me a commis- sion as major of artillery, he told me at the same time to get my equipments, such as uniforms, revolvers, sword, blankets, etc. , as a soldier requires, and that I must get them as soon as possible ; that we would have to leave to join the general in twenty-four hours. The captain was kind enough to show me a Greek tailor, and his family worked all night and all day in getting the uniform made. It was a daisy— b...right red cap and a bright red coat— as it was the general's wishes to equip his soldiers in the same uniform that his distinguished ances- tor used in Italy. The cap and coat were of the Garibaldi pattern, but the rest of the equipment was the Greek regulation. The sword was the usual heavy basket-handled, curved, field officers' saber with a crown and cross of Greece on the handle, and all the 88 AN AMERICAN SOLDIER buttons of my coat had the Greek crown on them. I felt a little strange wearing the em- blems of a kingdom when all my life I had worn the emblems of the Spread Eagle, but I soon became accustomed to the livery of the kingdom.
