To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The elevations on the eastern side, especially towards the north, were differently, more actively, and more suddenly produced, and the whole country there being more mineralized, chemical agency has been more decided, and the coal, originally perhaps like that of the West, has been induced to part with its hydrogen and has become anthracitic. In considering the elevation of this district, the structure of the various valleys and mountains is manifestly a point of great interest ; and that of Ho...ward's Creek, to which I have already referred, and which is sufficiently remarkable in itself as the valley of the " White Sulphur " springs, is certainly not the least interesting. Opening at first in the manner described, the valley continues rather narrow for some distance, during which it runs parallel to the general direction ; but after a time it widens out considerably, and in a part where the mountains form a noble and beautiful amphitheatre, and where a remark- able isolated hill, or rather two such hills connected at the foot, occupy the central place in the opening, there occurs one of those sulphur springs, of which several exist within a circuit of twenty or thirty miles, and have long rendered this part of Virginia celebrated, not only in the United States, but even throughout the world.
