To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In consequence of this removal, the operations of the northern army were suspended, for General Boyd, the second in command, was ordered to do nothing until the arrival of Wilkinson, Dearborn's successor. In justice to the retiring General it must be stated that he had been ill for more than a month before his removal ; that his army was becoming rapidly thinned by sickness ; and that he had been left almost entirely without regimental officers. Moreover, about this period, the command of the l...ake was temporarily lost. But Dear- born, nevertheless, appears to have been wanting in the requisites of a successful General ; for he displayed a torpor and indecision, which, whether resulting from age or natural incapacity, produced the most unfortunate results. After his recall, Dearborn was ordered to assume command of the military district of New York city. His subsequent life presents few incidents worthy of record here. In 1822, during the administration of Monroe, he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Portugal ; but he did not long hold this honorable post, being recalled, two years later, at his own request.
