To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the frontiers and the present, are the monuments of a civilization which has had its dark age but not its renaissance. America has her petrified cities, the abode of a great people who flourished in 25 them, pyramids which rival those of Egypt, temples and pala- ces which now fertilize the trunks of trees centuries old. The architecture of Satir reveals a civilization anterior to that of Egypt, yet a branch of the same human family, as is manifested by the pyramidal construction, and by the mum...mies which are found in Thebes and in Peru, with the same canopo or idol, with the same name and located in the same place. When these monuments, which begin with the mound and end with enormous masses of hewn stone, sculptured with a thousand hieroglyphics, have been studied, classified and compared, the history of both Americas will begin upon the same page, will be illustrated with the same lights from the time of their origin to that of Columbus. Here it divides into two great chapters, Cabot and Pizarro, who terminate in Washington and San Martin, and then their peculiar institutions and successive de- velopments evolve the common history of the great American family.
