To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We can hardly agree with the frightened recruitin the farce, who thinks "Victory or Death" a forbidding war-cry, but "Victory or Wooden Legs" a more appetizing alternative. Beside these complications, there are those arising from the sharewhich conscience has in the matter. "Thrice is he armed that hathhis quarrel just, " and the most resolute courage will sometimesquail in a bad cause, and even die in its armor, like Bois-Guilbert. It was generally admitted, on both sides, in Kansas, that the"...Border Ruffians" seldom dared face an equal number; yet nobodyasserted that these men were intrinsically deficient in daring; itwas only conscience which made cowards of them all. But it is, after all, the faculty of imagination which, more thanall else, confuses the phenomena of courage and cowardice. A veryimaginative child is almost sure to be reproached with timidity, while mere stolidity takes rank as courage. The bravest boy maysometimes be most afraid of the dark, or of ghosts, or of the greatmysteries of storms and the sea.
