To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They had been, on the whole, small when compared with what the first settlers elsewhere in the eastern colonies of America had endured. No destructive war, no deadly conflicts with the natives, no pestilence, no famine, had visited the Delaware settlements. There h&d been the usual diseases of a new country, there had been scanty food, coarse ap- parel, and rude shelter, there had been loneliness and homesick- ness, but on the whole the experience of over seventy years, since Hudson looked insi...de the capes' door, had served to show that here, without great cost in life or treasure, the homes of a new commonwealth might be prosperously planted. Far detached from the life of the settlers on the Delaware, an episode of romantic interest claims attention before we dismiss this period. It relates to the discovery of western Pennsylvania by white men. We have described the exploration by Cham- plain's guide, Etienne Brule, in middle Pennsylvania, in 161 5-16. We turn now to the probable discovery of the Alle- gheny and Ohio rivers by La Salle, in 1669.
