To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the old ferryman could regulate his own charges and suit his own convenience about the time he would transport travelers across. Sometimes it would be several hours before the captain could be induced to go aboard his vessel, but when the work was done, the traveler was always relieved of the most of his spare change. When the cowboys arrived at this crossmg, the boat was safely moored on the opposite shore and no one in sight. They began a series of shouts and war- whoops, but could attract no... one on the opposite side. Their repeated cries of "Bring over the boat,'' echoed and reechoed along the bluffs on the other side, but brought no response from the boatman, and they were preparing to plimge into the river and swim their ponies across, when they saw the old boatman begin to slowly pull his vessel across toward them. As he approached they could hear him chanting in a dolorous monotone the following ditty: *' A couple of Dutchmen rolling a barrel of sauer kraut, A couple of Dutchmen rolling a barrel of sauer kraut, Away down the Arkansaw." The nearer he approached, the more distinct was the song, but the words were not changed, for he neither added to nor took from the original stanza.
