To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The memo- rials of many tribes on the graven rocks, and numerous excavations, sepulchral mounds, and other earthworks in the vicinity : all con- firm the Indian tradition, that from time immemorial this has been recognised as neutral ground by the tribes to the west, and many of those to the east of the Mississippi ; to which they have made regular pilgrimages to renew their pipes from the rock consecrated by the footprints of the Great Spirit. The marks of his footsteps are pointed out, deeply... impressed in the rock, and resembling the track of a large bird ! Mandan traditions respecting this sacred spot have a special interest ; for the migrations of that once powerful Indian nation have been traced from the country lying between Cincinnati and Lake Erie, down the valley of the Ohio, over the graves of the ancient Mound -Builders, and thence up the great western branch of the Mississippi, until the extinction of nearly the whole nation, by the ravages of the small -pox in the year 1838, at their latest settlements on the Upper Missouri.
