To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These missions should be zealously guarded against the hands of relic-hunters and other vandals. The four missions below the city can be reached either by hacks or autos. Large tourist cars make regular trips to them daily, twice a day, and the mis- sions are open to the public. Accompanying these tourist automobiles are persons who attempt to give the histories of the missions, but what they do not know about San Antonio and her missions and their history is amazing. One of the glaring misstat...ements is that these missions are connected by underground tunnels. All of the missions have cellars, or under- ground chambers, but none of them are connected by subterranean chambers or passages. Occasionally, when excavations are made in and around the city, conduits are found, 'which were originally the ditches (or acequias) used for irrigation purposes in the city 66 and at and around the missions. These ditches were all walled and the bottoms lined with stone to keep them from eroding. These ditches have been mis- taken for underground passages, about which numer- ous grewsome and purely imaginary stories have been told.
