To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gaillardin, who is usually prolix in his descriptions, dismisses the subject with the statement in one place, that they went there and built a number of cabins, and in another that the settlement was a failure. Archbishop Spalding, too, has scarcely anything to say about the place. He tells us that they were there until March, 1813, and that during their stay two priests and five lay- brothers were consigned to their final resting place. Had Father Nerinx been near, we would know much more. It ...was the ambition of Pere Urban to carry the Gospel to the Indians; but in this, as in all other undertakings in America, he failed. Had he been able to maintain his institution at Monks' Mound, he might finally have accomplished what he desired, for the Indians were his next door neighbors, and were quite friendly with the monks. It was, however, impossible for the community to support itself, and besides, its members were rapidly dying off. When the colony broke up in the Spring of 1813, there were likely not 24 more than nine or ten members left.
