To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One might think that a thousand cattle could be fattened on this level meadow in a summer. In winter this grass falls and tangles one's feet, and when you want to walk through one of these flats you must step over these mounds and place your foot between them. 194 SCARCITY OF TIMBER and you sink in the ooze that has collected there, until your foot touches the ice, and if you have far to go you become very tired, and if a foot slips or you stagger from any cause, down you go. Sometimes you thin...k you can walk on the tops of these mounds, but you cannot. They sway under you and down you go on your knees in the mud between them. In time you quit trying to do so, and stick to the trail, if there be one, no matter how deep the water and ooze may be. The result is that the miners and other residents of that country keep as far away from a niggerhead swamp as they conveniently can, avoiding it as they would the plague. For the rest of the country, the surface is covered by from one foot to two of moss, and, underneath, the ever- lasting frost.
