To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It was not long before the question was answered. Attacked by a throat disease, supposed to have been diphtheria, he was carried away so rapidly that his physician, when the distinguished patient demanded to know his condition, was compelled to answer that he did not think he could live another half hour. With bravery and calmness he heard this death-sentence, dictated and signed his will, sent messages to his East- ern friends, bade a loving adieu to his loved ones, and quietly and fearlessl...y took the hand of Death, and went into the presence of God. The Rev. William D. Simonds thus tersely states the effect of his life upon his own and succeeding gen- erations: " Scarcely forty years of age, a Calif ornian only from 1860 to 1864, he had in this brief period so won the hearts of men that in honor of his funeral the legislature and all the courts adjourned, the na- tional authorities fired minute guns in the bay, while all the flags hi the city of San Francisco and on the ships hung at half-mast.
