What reading level is History of Steam On the Erie Canal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her wheel, inside of thepaddles, is a drum or cylinder, filled with cork, to be buoyant, and thehull has an easy, scow bow, for the water to pass under the boat. Practically, the large drum makes her a horizontal, cylindrical-bowed boat, and she mechanically throws the water therefrom against the scow-shapedbow, and so that the cylinder displacement with the mechanical currents, and the scow-bow displacement, combine to make her _very slow_. With hertwo sections she brought one and a half cargo...es of corn.
The _Excelsior_ has a horizontal, eccentric-acting paddle wheel, and wasbuilt of light iron at Green Point. She had a recess at the bow for hersubmerged wheel, and, when thus tried, found the retarding effects of themechanical currents at and against the bow so great, as to cause heroriginal bow-propulsion to be made stern-propulsion, when she was muchimproved. She was tried with cargo for a short distance on the canal, andwithdrawn.
The _Fountain City_ is a common boat, with machinery at her stern.
