To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I knew him for several years quite well, and know sufficient of his early life and peculiar characteristics to speak with some confi- dence of the influences that developed his active and eventful man- hood. He was a descendant of Illinois ancestors. Of him we have the somewhat astonishing announcement to make that he, a man of sixty- five years of age, was the son of native-born Illinois parents. Senator Bogy, according to my estimate of him, was not by nature a great genius, nor was he what i...s popularly denominated a brilliant or highly cultivated man, and, in my judgment, to attribute these qualities to him would be not only untruthful but do injustice to his memory. He was a western man, and possessed in a high degree the peculiar characteristics of a pioneer civilization. Born and reared in the midst of the unbroken wilderness, he was characterized by a rugged, fearless nature that marked him in every stage of life and in every pursuit in which he engaged as a strong, bold, and aggressive ax;tor.
