To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After get- ting on the limestone land a great change was ob- served in the vegetation, the grass was finer, the trees of different character. Linden, Hackberry, Black Ash, hickory. Sycamore, Cotton wood, elm, grapevines &c were observed. On the prairies the vegetation was the same, but more luxuriant. There appear to be no strawberries in these prairies. The red stream on which we camp is difficult to pass, the banks being steep and muddy. Deer and Turkies plenty, hundreds of the latter being o...ut on the open prairie. 12th day. 10th day marching. May 25 Thursday. Marched at /^ past 6. Course N. W. 21 miles, about 14 miles N. 50 W. We passed a large creek which at 14 194 MARCHES OF THE DRAGOONS first we supposed might be the Red fork of the Ar- kansas, being red, and apparently a long stream, but after travelling 7 miles in a more northerly direc- tion we were gratified by finding a beautiful river about 200 yards wide, making a sweeping bend to- wards the South at the point where we struck it ; the prairie coming in to the right bank while on the other shore the floods had thrown up high banks of white sand, which were covered with groves of Cot- ton wood and other trees, these, contrasted with the red color of the water gave a beautiful appearance to the river.
