To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The track is always perfectly plain, for in the dry climate of the western plains the action of the weather tends to preserve rather than to obliterate it; where it leads downhill, the snow water has cut and widened the ruts into deep gul- lies, so that a wagon has at those places to travel alongside the road. From any little rising in the prairie the road can be seen, a long way off, as a dark line, which, when i near, resolves itself into two sharply defined parallel cuts. Such a road is a gr...eat con- venience as a landmark. When travelling along it, or one like it, the hunters can sep- arate in all directions, and no matter how long or how far they hunt, there is never the least difficulty about finding camp. For the general direction in which the road lies, 198 HUNTING TRIPS is, of course, kept in mind, and it can be reached whether the sun is down or not; then a glance tells if the wagon has passed, and all that remains to be done is to gallop along the trail until camp is found. On the trip in question we had at first very bad weather.
