To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never have I come in contact withso much human feeling--even the ministers and their families arehuman, and full of understanding! The officials and people ofprominence are all natural and unassuming. I attended a "Ladies' Aid" meeting at which there were about fortyladies present, and among other good traits of these fine, earnestwomen I noticed particularly the absence of gossip and prudishness. However, there is a spirit of contradiction prevailing in Reno whichis very difficult to understan...d. All traces of the "wild and woolly"Western town have disappeared. The people of Reno are very docileindeed . . . . There are no cowboy yells nor Indian whoops, which some ofour Eastern and Southern friends imagine still to exist. And the clickof the roulette-wheel has passed with the years that have departed. Reno has developed into a cosmopolitan city with a cosmopolitanpopulation. The cafes have cabarets with excellent talent, and thereis dancing every evening in several of the hotels, where amid thebright lights, gay music, beautifully gowned women and well groomedmen, one might easily imagine oneself in one of the swell cafes onBroadway: until one catches a glimpse of the moonlight on the Truckee, through an open window.
