To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About a hundred and fifty of his men volunteered to accompany him, and with them he set out at once for the house of Tipton, more than a hundred miles distant. Sevier always moved with great celerity, but on this occasion the tidings of his approach preceded him. News travels with amazing rapidity in sections destitute of mail and telegraphic facilities ; but it is probable that Tipton had placed spies with Sevier to give him timely notice of his movements. However this may have been, he had su...fficient warning of Sevier's approach to call to his aid fifteen of his friends, and to dispatch a messenger to Colonel Maxwell, asking him to come to his assistance with the regiment of Sullivan County. Tipton's house was located on the bank of a small creek flowing into the Watauga, about eight miles east of Jonesboro, and, like most of the better class of backwoods dwellings of the period, was substantially a fort, capable, when properly manned, of resisting attack from greatly superior num- bers.
