To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The waterworks I have mentioned were four miles from El Deposoto, and the road between these two places had to be guarded by means of patrol, we having to cover half of the distance and the Wyoming regiment the other half, and both patrols had a meeting place half-way. The pipes that furnished water to the depository lay on top of the ground from the water-works to the city of Manila, and this patrol duty was to keep a close look-out in order that the pipe line would not be broken by insurgents.... Four men would start out at the same time from each end of the route, two from the 21st Infantry and two from the Wyoming regiment, keeping about ten feet distance apart, and if one patrol would ar- rive at the meeting place first, then they had to wait for the others, and report to see if every- thing was clear. Before we arrived at our meet- ing place on the patrol line, we had to cross the San Juan bridge, from which the first shot from the Americans was fired by Private Gray- SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 8 1 son of the Nebraska regiment of volunteers and was returned by a volley from the insurgents' outpost of this bridge, which set the ball rolling on the night of February 4th, 1899.
