To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The country was laid waste to prevent their subsistence. In the District of Minas alone, there were destroyed two hun- dred and fifty-five houses, two hundred and seventy- six barns, one hundred and fifty-five outhouses, eleven nills, and one church ; and the friends of those who refused to surrender were threatened as the victims of their obstinacy.
In short, so operative were the terrors that sur- rounded them, that of twenty-four young men, who deserted from a transport, twenty-two were glad... to return of themselves, the others being shot by sen- tinels ; and one of their friends, who was supposed to have been accessory to their escape, was carried on shore to behold the destruction of his house and effects, which were burned in his presence, as a pun- ishment for his temerity and perfidious aid to his com- rades. The prisoners expressed the greatest concern at having incurred his Majesty's displeasure, and in a petition addressed to Colonel Winslow intreated him to detain a part of them as sureties for the appearance of the rest, who were desirous of visiting their fam- ilies, and consoling them in their distress and misfor- tunes.
