What reading level is History of Alaska 1730 1885 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a savant he waa superficial; as a chronicler he was biased. In neither capacity does he add much to what was already known of Russian America. The first part con- tarns a nan-ative of his voyage to Kamchatka, thence to Japan, and back to Petropovlovsk, the incidents of which are also related in Krusenstern's work. The first five and the eleventh and twelfth chapters of the second part relate to Alaska, and the remainder of the work is taken up with his visit to Cali- fornia and his homeward ...journey. His statements as to the condition of the natives and the promyshleniki appear to be greatly exaggerated. They are not indorsed by any of the Alaskan annalists, and though Lisiansky gives some color to them, they are strongly at variance with the reports of Rezauof, who was a keen and impartial observer. A proof of the little value set on Langsdorff's services is the smalLness of the pension granted to him on his return. He received, as will be remembered, but 300 ducats a year, and the like sum was given to his assistants, while the lieutenants and surgeons of the expedition were awarded pensions of 1, 000 roubles.
