What reading level is Desiderata in Exploration 1907 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1879, Crevaux, in a small steamer, ascended the Putumayo to the base of the Cordillera, then turned north overland, and, in a canoe, descended the Caqueta, or Yapura, or Hyapora, to its junction with the Amazon.
It is surprising that up to this time, with the exception of the above mentioned Peru -Brazilian commission, no astronomical observations and no careful scientific tracings of the river and its branches were made. So far as geography is concerned, we only know that a great and im- po... rtant fluvial artery exists there, fancifully mapped according to the best judgment of those who have navigated its waters. Even the compass survey made by Crevaux was a rough one of the main river, while ascending it, much of the time, day and night, in a steamer. Its great as well as its minor branches are still almost unknown.
It is said that the Yapura can be reached from the upper Putumayo by a short portage. This is confirmed by Vergara y Velasco in his great ' Geographia de Colombia, ' who also states that the Putumayo rises in the celebrated Cocha (laguna) de Pasto.
