To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first place his choice had led to a thorough study of American history and geography. His knowledge of the topography, climatic and political conditions, the advantages and disadvantages of the various States in our Union was as accurate as if he had personally visited every one of them. The reasons set forth in his diary for locating as he did are most convincing. In the next place, he forthwith invested all his money in desirable lands at cheap prices, thus preventing its dissipation i...n some visionary enterprise. And so owning good farm lands well located he had, from the very start, insured his living and his independence.
The lands selected by him were in the western part of Pennsylvania, Butler county, about twenty-five miles from the new town of Pittsburg. Here he and a few of his com- patriots purchased some 7, 000 acres at an average price of $1. 37 an acre, and founded the village of Germania, after- wards called Saxonburg. It was a wild and isolated country with a future as blank as his own, where, as Cowper would say: " History, not wanted yet, Leaned on her elbow watching Time, whose course, Eventful, should supply her with a theme.
