To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few musketeers with E. Johnson at their head, by passing round upon the enemy's flank, served to increase the consterna- tion which was beginning to pervade their unwieldy body. In about twenty min tes after the settlers had taken their stand, the front of the enemy began to recoil. But from the numerous ob- * struct! :>i:- in their rear, the entire absence of discipline, and the extreme difficulty of giving a reversed motion to so large a body, a small part only of which was directly exposed... to danger, and the delay occasioned by the practice of carrying off all their dead and wounded, rendered a retreat for some minutes longer, impos- sible. The very violence employed by those in the front, in their impatience to hasten it, by increasing the confusion, produced an effect opposite to that intended. The Americans perceiving their advantage, now regained possession of the western post, and in- stantly brought the long nine to rake the whole line of the enemy. Imagination can scarcely figure to itself a throng of human beings in a more capital state of exposure to the destructive power of the machinery of modern warfare!
