To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All sorts of snares were cunningly devised with which to beguile the unsuspecting forest creatures. And the necessity to make the rounds of the traps daily was fre- quently the occasion of a somewhat prolonged absence from the fields in corn-cutting or potato-digging time. No, we never caught anything in these twitch-ups, that I recall. But they were very excellent traps, and were constructed, somewhat after the manner of Izaak Wal- ton's flies for fishing, of horsehair, cord, pieces of wire, a...nd twine. We frequently found them sprung, and once there were actually a few hairs from a gray squir- rel's tail left caught in a noose. The horsehairs we pulled and twitched from the tails of our humble beasts of burden, and their long silky tassels grew noticeably shaggy and ragged after part had been impressed into our service. As many as twenty-one quail at once were caught years ago, so the saying goes, in a big figure four trap, made by a Nimrod of the day, who has now grown into a gray-haired hunter and lover of the woods.
