What reading level is A Yankee On the Yangtze Being a Narrative of a Journey From Shanghai Through T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Another remedy for the drought is to get some man to personate the Water Dragon, and then run the gaunt- let of slop buckets. The nauseous things contained in the water thrown over this personificatio...n can never be imagined by a European, for a Chinaman is never over-particular about cleanliness.

The city of Wan contains much money, and being only a county seat, there are not many soldiers to guard it. I was told by an eye-witness of the occurrence that during one of the local outbreaks a plot was laid by a number of men to rise and plunder the city at midnight.
