To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Carolinians would be straddled on mules and jacks. Tennesseans always had a grease bucket to lubri- cate the running gear part of the wagons ; Carolinians had tar- buckets filled with Carolina pine tar, to heal up the bruises and grow the hair tight on the naked places of their dumb brutes. Tennesseans were bareheaded, barefooted, and wore copper col- ored breeches, with legs run through about a foot and a half too far; Carolinians high quartered black leather shoes, and were afraid of snak...es. A flint-lock gun and a dog of the "Sooner" kind always was a part of Old Virginians. This was 75 years ago and but few of these witnesses are now living. Jacob Painter was one, however, whose memory was not treacherous, and in his old age could look upon the historic panorama of Springfield, and paint in simple and interesting colors to the edification of all who love the early history of their home. Jacob was a na- tural born angler, and many years ago would while away the whole of a Sabbath Day on the banks of the Jordan with a pin hook and a paw-paw pole without a nibble, which, however, never discomfitted his placid and even temper.
