To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever the women came to see us, they wore robes which were open in front. The men cut off the hair on the top of the head like those at the river Choiiacoet. I saw, among other things, a girl with her hair very neatly dressed, with a skin coloured Cape Cod coloured red, and bordered on the upper part with little shell-beads. A part of her hair hung down behind, the rest being braided in various ways. These people paint the face red, black, and yellow. They have scarcely any beard, and tear i...t out as fast as it grows. Their bodies are well-proportioned. I cannot tell what gov- ernment they have, but I think that in this respect they resemble their neighbours, who have none at all. They know not how to wor- ship or pray; yet, like the other savages, they have some superstitions, which I shall describe in their place. As for weapons, they have only pikes, clubs, bows and arrows. It would seem from their appearance that they have a good disposition, better than those of the north, but they are all in fact of no great worth.
