To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Panamanians did not like this. Neither would we or any other people for that matter, for the process of fumigating necessarily interrupts the routine of life, invades domestic privacy, inevitably causes some loss by the dis- 312 PANAMA AND THE CANAL coloring of fabrics, interrupts trade in the case of stores and is in general an infernal nuisance. Here the peculiar personality of Col. Gorgas came into play. Had that gentleman not been a great health officer he would have made a notable dipl...o- mat, particularly in these new days when tact and charm of manner are considered more essential to an American diplomat than dollars. He went among the people of the two towns, argued, jollied and cajoled them until a work which it was thought might have to be accomplished at the point of the bayonet was finished with but little friction. The bayonet was always in the background however, for the treaty gives the United States unqualified authority to enforce its sanitary ordinances in the cities of Colon and Panama.
