To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before starting, two of my colleagues informed me that they had seen such there, and one has told me the same, since my return. Also Mr. Mudd, Superintendent of Schools in Ran- dolph county, wrote that there were three record-books in the court-house. Many others probably possessed the same knowledge. The actual discovery required no occult science, for the three record-books were taken from the shelves of the office of the circuit-clerk. When asked about other records, the story of their total... destruction was told by gentlemen, who were in the office. However, search was made. The book- shelves of the office do not reach to the ceiling, and their top is surmounted by a cornice, thus forming an easily sus- pected hiding place. Here were found, if the word can be used in regard to that which was never really lost, three large sacks and four packages of papers, marked, "Old French Records. " Upon examination only part of them proved to be French records, for over half were court writs of every kind from the last decade of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries.
