To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the second day of their descent, the travellers, having got beyond the steepest pitch of the mountains, came to where the deep and rugged ravine began occasionally to expand into small levels or valleys, and the stream to assume for short intervals a more peaceful character. Here, not merely the river itself, but every rivulet flowing into it, was dammed up by communities of industrious beavers, so as to inundate the neighborhood, and make continual swamps. During a mid-day halt in one of th...ese beaver valleys, Oaptain Bonneville left his companions, and strolled down the course of the stream to reconnoitre. He had not proceeded £Eir, when he came to a beaver pond, and caught a glimpse of one of its painstaking inhabitants busily at work upon the dam. The curiosity of the captain was aroused, to behold the mode of ope- rating of this far-famed architect ; he moved forward, therefore, with the utmost caution, parting the branches of the water wil- lows without making any noise, until having attained a position commanding a view of the whole pond, he stretched himself flat on the ground, and watched the solitary workman.
