To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Douglas may be of but small importance in history, but it will, at least place my own name on the record of a society 'with a future,' because of the happy circumstances that even the man who as before remarked, dom- inates this age can not possibly remember what happened before he was born, and must 'give the old man a chance.' Mr. Douglas came to Jacksonville, where my father, Murray McConnel, was then a practicing lawyer, in the year in which I was born, as I have been informed. His coming, ...therefore, is hardly a reminiscence, but the informa- tion is. It is probably true that the money with which he started from New York was nearly exhausted, but I do not belieye it was reduced to 37 L 2 cents as some of his biographical sketches have stated.
Nor do I believe that when he left Jacksonville to go to Winchester, in Scott county, he walked the sixteen miles between the two places. I have always understood that my father was one of the first men he met in Jacksonville; that he remained in that town for some time, probably some months, during which time he was made welcome to the use of my father's law books, and welcome in his home, and was helped along with good counsel and friendly light on the people among whom he had come, with a view of making his 'tenderfoot' period as short and easy as possible; and further, that when he did go to Scott county, whereof, Winchester is the county town, he took with him letters of introduction from my father, who had formerly lived there, through which he secured the school where he taught for a short time.
