To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the money he had he gave them, and from his supplies he took flour, sugar, matches, baking soda, and other things to distribute among them. I also gave them all the change I had, for nowhere was it more needed than among this destitute people." That night, as I stretched out on the sand in my blankets, outside of Tom's ha-wa, the grandeur of the stupendous walls of the canyon impressed me more than they had during the day. Was there ever such a sublime place before used by man as a site for... his home ? Travellers come back to their native land full of descriptions of the great temples of the Nile and the wonderful ruins of vast struc- tures found elsewhere in the world, but where has man ever contrived and erected dwellinsfs between w^alls of rich red sandstone, formed of layers so per- fectly and harmoniously placed that they appear as if laid by a master mason, and that tower into the pure cobalt sky, two thousand feet and more above ? A sensitive soul is ever avv^ed, a petty soul dwarfed, and a religious soul elevated by contempla- tion of them.
