What reading level is Home Life in Colonial Days book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And at the tavern in the afternoon is a great sight, greater inante-temperance days than now: scores of yoke of oxen at the door, thehorse-sheds full of horses and sleighs, all the lads and men of thetownship within. There is rivalry in the method of breaking. Oneroad-master always used a snow-plough; another lashed an ordinary ploughon either side of a narrow ox-sled; a third used a coarse harrowweighted down with a group of standing boys. This broke up the drifts ina wonderful manner. The dee...per drifts often have to be shovelled outpartly by hand. After the road to the tavern is broken, the road to theschool-house, the doctor's house, and the meeting-house come next.
The roads thus made were not permitted in former days to be cut up idlyby careless use; many townships forbade by law the use of narrow sledsand sleighs. The roads were narrow at best; often when two sleighs metthe horses had to be unharnessed, and the sleighs lifted past over eachother. On lonely hill-roads or straight turnpikes, where teamsters couldsee some distance ahead, turnouts were made where one sleigh could waitfor another to pass.
