To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ewell wrote a little about the trouble, and so did the biographer of an East Texas lawman who got drawn into its latter calamities. Armed with what they had recorded and with old clippings, court transcripts, and letters, C. L. Sonnichsen, an eloquent specialist in feuds, went to Hood County a few years back when the old ones were dropping off life’s tree like November leaves, talked to the few who were left that knew anything about it, and wrote it all down as thoroughly and straight as such ma...tters can be written down in the myopic aftertime, blinking back through the chaparral of fear and hate and love and pride and plain bad memory. It always seemed to me (the myopia has an advantage: that dimly seen things can be shaped as one wishes and given the moral one wants them to have) that the trouble was one in which the civilized new townsmen showed their brushed teeth, showed they were the future. It was a lot of other things, too, and was not at bottom a town trouble, but I think it did mean that.
