To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lusson took possession for France of the rocky barrens around Sault Ste Marie and La Salle of the marshes which embosom the mouth of the Mississippi. But to the thoughtful mind, the quiet scene at Fort St. Antoine will far surpass them both in interest. St. Lusson and La Salle stood amidst uninhabited wastes, but Perrot, at Fort St. Antoine, stood at the centre of the continent, close to what were to be its richest gardens and harvest fields. The date itself was a memorable one. A few weeks bef...ore William and Mary had ascended the English throne and the English Revolution had thus been brought to its triumphant close. That date has been universally accepted as the turn- ing-point in the career of Louis XIV. And of European despotism. It seems like a stroke of supernatural irony that that very time should have been chosen for the planting of the stand- ard of this waning despotism in the heart of that continent which above all others had been reserved for liberty.
