To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
New York, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco were trade-centres before railroads were devised* When a trade-centre was wanted on Lake Michigan, Chicago was selected, not by men, but by the force of natural laws. What the capitalists called a " swamp," and so avoided, was really a business plain. Sand drifted in, and built a bar before Michigan City ; at certain other lake points the bluff, crumbling constantly into the lake, imperiled the harbors ; other natural causes worked away at... others. The cosmic forces were at work in favor of Chi- cago, and Chicago was elected trade-centre of the majestic West.
