What reading level is Caleb Matthews An Idyl of the Maine Coast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Within easy sailing distance to the northeast is Pemaquid, which disputes with Jamestown the claim of being the first permanent 21 CALEB MATTHEWS white settlement in the New World. He is proud of these facts and responds to them as a traveler from inland re sponds to the ozone of the ocean. If sufficiently stirred t he will t with vivid ness and a language all his own t make these events of the distant past live again. Could his words be printed, they would make many pages of some learned histo...rians seem dull enough. History for him is not science, but primarily literature, even though the form of his literature is quaint and decidedly colloquial.
However, Caleb is seen at his best as a historian, when on rare occasions, perhaps once during the summer, he leaves you standing on the shore, while he goes to the house, only to return with a little varnished box. In this box are two documents: one a facsimile copy of the Declaration of 22 THE FISHERMAN Independence, which his father before him secured with a subscription to a magazine; the other t a faded news paper containing an account of a sea fight off the shore of Crewaggen in the War of J8J2* If Caleb shares the pride of the settlement each day when the mail bag arrives, he indulges in a pride all his own when he reveals the contents of this box* In fact, it is worth a trip to this tip of the island to see this native historian on such an occasion* That subtle something called general attitude reveals this pride: the move ment of the big hand as with tiny key the box is unlocked; the adjustment of the steel-rimmed spectacles prepara tory to the unfolding of the documents ; and the expression of awe mingled with affection as he looks upon them and then hands them to his friend* 23 CALEB MATTHEWS It is a critical moment for the priv ileged one to whom are handed these documents.
