To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Radisson had left French hostages at Gillam's fort for his safe return, but these had been instructed to place firearms at convenient places and to post themselves so that they could prevent the sudden closing of the gates. Such precautions proved un- necessary. Radisson walked into the New Eng- land poacher's fort and quietly took possession. A few days later Bridgar, who had learned too late that the fort on the Nelson was not French but English, marched his men up- stream to contrive a junct...ion with young Gillam's forces. When the Hudson's Bay men knocked on the gate of the New Englanders* fort for admission, the sentinel opened without question. The gates clapped shut with a slamming of bolts, and the Englishmen found themselves quietly and bloodlessly captured by the intrepid Radisson. Meanwhile Groseilliers and his son, Jean Chouart, had been plying a thriving trade. To be sure, the ice jam of spring in the Hayes river had made Radisson's two cockle-shell craft look more like staved-in barrels than merchant ships.
