To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All these great assaults of the enemy were carried out on the same simple and uniform plan. Taking up a position under cover within short range, and overlook- ing the work to be assaulted, with only the muzzles of their matchlocks appearing above the sheltering rocks, they would open as heavy a fire as their means per- mitted, and thus force our men to lie close behind their breastworks. The bolder spirits of the mountaineers — men armed with short swords, and who had fully made up their minds ...to a hand-to-hand fight — then advancing rapidly and with great courage to the very foot of the work, and collecting under cover of the rocks, would LOSS OP THE CRAG PICKET. 65 pause for awhile to regain their breath, and to prepare for a final rush ; so that sometimes, almost before our men were aware of their immediate vicinity, showers of stones falling inside the work would be the first in- timation that the enemy were close at hand. The moun- taineers did not even hesitate to bring forward large standards, and to elevate them tauntingly within a few yards of the breastwork.
