To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The services of a tramp steamer coming to Oregon were enlisted, a scow-load of sand was brought alongside and deposited between decks, several small boat-loads of various kinds of food, green stuff and grain, together with sundry large bags of charcoal were placed on board for their use, and the captain and sailors were paid well to attend to their wants. Poles of bamboo caged off a neat airy room some twenty feet square, and here in semi liberty thirty birds were turned, and here they stretche...d their wings and fluttered and scratched in the sand and ate of the food provided for them. Talk of the hardships of an ocean voyage! Indeed these birds actually grew fat. Only four perished on the way and the remainder after reaching Portland were placed in the large cage which had been made under Judge Denny's supervision and shipped with the birds, and immediately turned over to a brother, Mr. John Denny, who had come to Portland to receive them. He took them to his large ranch in Linn County in the Willamette Valley, and here at the foot of Peterson's Butte the travellers were liberated.
