To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On these winter trips I carried with me a cam- era, thermometer, barometer, compass, notebook, and folding axe. The food carried usually was only raisins. I left all bedding behind. Notwith- standing I was alone and in the wilds, I did not carry any kind of a gun. The work made it necessary for me to ramble the wintry heights in sunshine and storm. Often I was out, or rather up, in a blizzard, and on 52 more than one occasion I was out for two weeks on the snow-drifted crest of the continent, w...ithout seeing any one. I went beyond the trails and vis- ited the silent places alone. I invaded gulches, eagerly walked the splendid forest aisles, wan- dered in the dazzling glare on dreary alpine moorlands, and scaled the peaks over mantles of ice and snow. I had many experiences, — amus- ing, dangerous, and exciting. There was abun- dance of life and fun in the work. On many an evening darkness captured me and compelled me to spend the night in the wilds without bedding, and often without food.
