To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here, amid rocks of the loveliest hues, but wildest contour, is i the poor lodiaa performing ablution ; and at a little distance beyond, on the plain, at the base of five huge granite boulders, he is humbly propitiating the guardian spirits of the place, by sacrifices of tobacco, entreating for per- mission to take away a small piece of the red stoue for a pipe. Farther aloDg, and over an extended plain are seen, like gophir hiUs, their excava- tions, ancient and recent, and on the surface of t...he rocks, various marks and their sculptured hieroglyphics — their wakons, totems and medicines — subjects numerous and interesting for the antiquary or the merely curious. Graves, mounds, and ancient fortifications that lie in sight — the pyra mid or leaping-rock, and its legends ; together with traditions, novel and numerous, and a description, graphical and geological, of this strange place, have all been subjects that have passed rapidly through my contemplation, and will be given in future epistles.
