What reading level is History of the Indian Walk, Performed for the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania in 1737, to Which is Appended a Life of Edward Marshall book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IO5 one day's walk of sixty miles, and John Watson, Jr., on the authority of Moses Marshall, makes it eighty- six miles. On applying the scale on Eastburn's map to the line of the Walk, we made it on the original sixty-five miles, and a friend of ours makes the same sixty and three-quarter miles, the mode of following the curves probably making the difference. Samuel Preston caps the climax by stating that the walk was from sunrise to sunset and the distance estimated from one hundred and ten t...o one hundred and twenty miles. Our opinion is that the whole distance must have been between sixty-five and seventy-two miles, and we think the aforesaid sixty-six and one-half miles to be the best supported by evidence, and therefore likely to be the most correct. Taking this distance as the true measurement, and made in eighteen hours, it would give very nearly an average of three and three-quarter miles per hour, which is certainly rapid walking. To maintain this speed for a day and a half, or eighteen hours, would be found to be such as few constitutions could endure.
