To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of the river I did not see much, as it flows between banks thickly wooded with firs; but the valley is composed of beautiful smooth prairies, sprinkled with belts of heavy timber, or open groves of 264 CALIFORNIA AND THE NORTHWEST. oaks. This is the general character of the country, — smooth grazing meadows, suitable for any kind of fanning. The plains are broken by constant water courses. On one side the Coast Range closes the view, a rough and rather desolate chain. On the other are the Casca...de Mountains^ higher and more distant, and defined by the great snow peaks, which rise almost isolated and at nearly r^^ular in- tervals. From many spots several of the peaks can be seen far off upon the horizon. From one hill near Salem, the present capital of the Territory, I could see Mts. St. Helens, Adams, Hood, Jefferson, and the Three Sisters. At this great distance, nearly two hundred miles, the smooth, roimded cone of St. Helens is particularly beautiful, rising as if at once from the plain, magnificently defined against the sky in the blue distance.
