To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Indians came, fifteen hun- dred in number, to murder and 6calp the Big Knives, as they called the American 6611161*8. General Proctor sailed from Am- herstburg, landed, planted his can- non, and for five days rained solid shot and shell upon the fort. When General Harrison saw Proctor plac- ing his caunon he set his soldiers to digging ditches and throwing up an embankment, called a traverse, be- hind which the soldiers could lie in safety. He had only three cannon and very few balls. " A g...ill of rum for every ball yon can pick up," he said ; and the sol- diers watched where the balls ploughed into the ground, dug them out, so many of them that the sutler had to measure out more than two thousand gills. Captain Gratiot, commanding the artillery, sent the balls back to Proctor as General Harrison's compliments. Proctor sent a flag summoning Harrison to surrender; but the man who had won the battle of Tippecanoe had no idea of pulling down the flag while there was a soldier to de- fend it.
