paraphrase this sentence He gave some instances of a feud, that had been generally printed a short time before, as if they were

the actual doings of hordes of savages in the mountains. He may not have been as far wrong as it seems at first glance, of course, but the incident aptly illustrated how little conception the mass of otherwise well-informed aliens have of the great country which is giving them more of comfort, liberty and opportunity than they have ever had before.

Answer:

There were some examples of a feud that he gave which had been printed some time ago and they were described as if they were done by savages in the mountains.
