To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Holmes, with whom the idea originated, represents the cliff house of the Mancos Gallon, the exterior dimensions of which are 28 inches in breadth by 40 inches in height, and on a scale of 1. 24, or two feet to the inch. This is a two-story building, constructed of stone, occupying a narrow ledge in the vertical face of the bluff 700 feet above the valley, and 200 feet from the top. It is 24 feet in length and 14 feet in depth, and divided into four rooms on the ground-floor. The beams supportin...g the second floor are all destroyed. The doorways, serving also as windows, were quite small, only one small aperture in the outer wall facing the valley. The exposed walls were lightly plastered over with clay, and so closely resembled the general surface of the bluff that it becomes exceedingly difficult to distinguish them at a little dis- tance from their surroundings. The second model of this series was constructed by Mr. Jackson, and represents the large "cave town, " in the valley of the Kio de Chelly near its junction with the San Juan.
