To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was the first man who discovered and 180 COLONEL ST. VRAIN. recognized the superior skill of Kit Carson as a hunter ; and, for his subsequent success in life, Kit Carson was much indebted to him. Col. St. Vrain died a few years since at Moro, a New Mexican town eighteen miles from Fort Union, N. M., and in the Rocky Mountains. He died of apoplexy, at the ripe age of three-score years and ten, beloved far and near, and looked upon in the light of a father by all hunters and trnppers. He was b...uried with military honors by the Eighth U. S. Cavalry. St. Vrain was one of the greatest pioneers the West ever saw, and was long the head and front of our great fur com- panies. Notwithstanding his rough experience, he was a polished gentleman in his manners and dealings. The writer was for years intimate with him, and attended him in his last sickness, but his modesty would never allow him to speak of his own life and exploits. As the reader can now easily compute, sixteen years had elapsed since Kit Carson commenced his exploits in the Rocky Mountains.
