To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Looking skyward directly above it may be seen what appear to be toy houses on a gree. : patch ; closer observations reveals moving objects ; a field-glass shows that they are cattle, goats, and children, tethered to bowlders to prevent them from straying over the edge of the precipice. A family resides up there, cultivating this bit of ancient ground, backed by craggy mountain tops, with a foreground of precipice above the fjord. The only cummunication between these eagle-nest farmers and the o...uter world is by the boat below ; how the boat is reached, where is the staircase of ledges on the face of the precipice, is incomprehensible to the pass- ing tourist ; in most cases no indication of a track is visible. Nothing but absolute pro- prietorship by the cultivator could bring such land into cultivation latitute sixty-two de- grees, altitude two thousand to three thous- and feet ; summer only three to four months long ; the ground covered with snow during six to eight months of every year requires a race such as we found the Norwegians to be : intelligent, kind, frugal and industripus.
