To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the war between the United States and Mexico, it seemed that soldiers arrogated to themselves an unbridled license, to do and act as they pleased. Many Missions were completely gutted, no regard was had for books, papers, reports. MSS. , or documents of any kind. Instances are reported where valua- ble documents and MSS.. Were used for gun wads and cigarette paper. In viewing these facts it is surprising, but Providential, that even the few documents we have at the present day, should have ...been saved front the general ruin. In April 1845, the Congress of Mexico decreed that all the unsold property of the Pious Fund, quasi confiscated in 1842. Should be restored to the administration of Bishop Garcia Diego, who had gone there to protest against its confiscation and having obtained the above decree returned to Santa Barbara the same year. The following facts cannot fail to interest per- sons doing business in this county, as it shows the great difference in the value of property and real estate between that time and now.
