What reading level is Chicago the Great Industrial And Commercial Center of the Mississippi Valley book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been facetiously asked why the great rivers flowed past the great cities. It is plain enough why there are great cities along the coast lines of countries where harbor facilities are to be found in the form of bays and inlets. But in the interior of a continent commer- cial cities always seek locations wherever land and water transporta- tion meet. This in America occurs near the head of the Great Lakes, as at Chicago and Duluth; it occurs at the head of river navigation, as at Pittsburg...h and St. Paul. These cities also arise where several rivers and river valleys converge, and near falls and rapids which impede navigation, as at Louisville and Detroit, and where great bends occur in an important stream, or river valley, as at Kansas City and Cincinnati, and sometimes they are found where lines of trans- portation converge at a river bank, as at Omaha. The important part that water transportation plays in the location of commercial cities may be judged from the fact that of the twenty large cities in the United States nine are located at tide water, five on the chain of the Great Lakes, five on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and one on the Potomac.
