To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What grass there is grows in bunches. The region oppresses, while it interests you. Vast masses of mountain lie all around, hazy-blue with distance. Gaunt cacti sway and nod in the idle wind. Forests of the curious yucca palm appear at intervals, some day to be all cut down and taken away for the manufacture of paper. There may be rarely a gray coyote, looking behind him, and seeming to smile when he lolls his red tongue. Occasionally a jackass rabbit lays his long ears down, and makes a gray s...treak of himself as he departs for some locality where there are fewer myste- rious rumblings and less smoke. The effects of the sunshine are something like those of the electric light; the lights are intensely brilliant and the shadows black. The scene is not wanting in a weird and mysterious charm. Silence, loneliness and vastness, have the effect of entertaining and pleasing, where there is no danger and little discomfort, and where by simply sitting still the panorama will unwind itself and pass away.
