To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
14 THE BATTLE OF YORK Rumours had been heard all during the winter of the preparations which were being made on the American side. Yeo and his sailors were still struggling through the snow from Halifax. There were no telegraphs in those days, and but one road, the Kingston road, which wound its way through the forests and the scattered settlements which fringed the shores of the lake. News came slowly. It was a time of expectancy and all Canada was waiting for the attack.
It was known at York ...that the breaking up of the ice would be the signal for the sailing of the enemy's fleet. The ice had given way in the harbour and the Prince Regent warped down and sailed out into the lake on the 24th, to reconnoitre the position and so escaped the invasion. Videttes had been posted out upon the Scarborough Heights and along the eastern shores of the lake, to give earliest warn- ing of any advance, and general activity prevailed. All men capable of bearing arms were being drilled, young Allan McNab (afterwards Sir Allan Mc- Nab), a lad of only 14, but stout and large for his years, stood in the ranks alongside his old weather- beaten and war-scarred father, and a general sense of cheerful readiness prevailed.
