To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The soil in many places appears to be sterile, and is generally of a red clayish nature, mixed with sand and fragmentary rock, and strongly impregnated with mineral salts, among which nitre forms a prominent component. Some spots, for a considerable extent, are entirely destitute of vegetation, and present a surface whitened by saline efflorescences, among which nitre and sulphate of soda form a predominant part. The character of the various moulds (with the exception of the allu- vion in the v...icinity of the rivers and creeks) is almost entirely primitive, like numerous strata of rocks upon which they repose. The grass, from the dry specimens of the previous summer's growth, appeared to be of a longer and a coarser kind, and more sparse and iso- lated. The short buffalo-grass of the grand prairie had almost entirely disappeared, — in some places a blueish salt grass (herba salee) showed itself in plats uncropped by game. Artemisie, * or rather greasewood of the mountaineers, became quite abundant, as did absinthe, or wild sage, together with severals specimens of the cadi family, which are the common pest of the mountain prairies.
