That "long-frequency tail" is probably transcription errors, where multiple words are strung together.  Hunt them down and check with the page images.

You seem to be computing the length distribution of tokens (word ocurrences).  Try instead that of lexemes ("word types").

Be sure to map everything to lowercase.

For a double surprise, try also Chinese or Vietnamese...
