What reading level is A Year Among the Trees; Or, the Woods And By-Ways of New England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In midsummer few forest trees surpass the Oak in the beauty of their foliage, or in its persist- ence after the arrival of frost.
Oak woods possess characters almost as strongly marked as those of a pine wood. They emit a fragrance which is agreeable, though not sweet, and unlike that of other trees. They seldom grow as densely as pines, poplars, and other trees that scatter a multitude of small seeds, and, being soft wooded, increase with greater rapidity. The Oak is slow, in its perpendicular... growth, having an ob- stinate inclination to spread. It has also a more abundant undergrowth than many other woods, because it sends its roots downward into the soU, instead of monopolizing the surface, like the beech. One thing that is apparent on entering an Oak wood is the absence of that uniformity which we observe in other woods. The irregular and contorted growth of individual trees, twisting in many directions, and the want of precision in their forms, are apparent at once. We do not see in a forest of Oaks whole acres of tall slender trees sending upward a smooth Digitized by VjOOQ IC 124 TH£ OAK.
