What reading level is Highways And Byways of the Mississippi Valley book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The river is always tearing away at the banks — an aggressive, unfeeling monster. It will wash off hundreds of acres of an exposed plantation in a single season. But when it washes on one side a sand bar starts opposite and soon rises above low water, begins to grow to willows, and at length builds up so that it can be cleared and cultivated. The stream pro- gresses by many loops through the bottom lands, and often it cuts across the neck of the loops so that the valley is full of these abandon...ed channels; but the return of the stream to an old-time course is something unusual. The weather had become threatening, and the sun, low in the west, had been gradually effaced in a gloom of thickening cloud. A rough wind arose, and there was a dash of rain. We had come to another stopping- place, and pushed up into the willows skirting the bank until we could run our gang-plank to land near a store- 82 Highways and Byways of the Mississippi Valley house. While we were getting the goods to shore the clouds lifted in the west, and the sun shone out and sparkled on the waves and painted the misty east with a long streak of rainbow, and glorified the whole land- scape with amber light.
