What reading level is Impressions of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cold greys of these withered glories of the forest make the foliage of the rising generation glow all the more brightly. The wheels squeak and groan under the heavy brake, as we descend some steep slope where the road is broken into holes, not to mention ruts a foot deep, and large stones concealed by the orange dust. Deep glades open at every turn banks of the coolest shade and out of the ground, overstrewn with slippery pine needles and clusters of cones, arise the blackened stumps of the... victims of forest fires, taking the shape of long-eared rabbit or begging bear, objects quite startling in the gloom.
But the gorge below us is becoming steeper and grander, the trees along the edge of the road less and less thickly clustered, and presently, as the driver pulls up on a little knoll of rock and grass, the glorious Yosemite lies spread out before us (Plate XXVII. ). We are scarcely in the valley itself, so that distance softens the whole view, blend- ing into one harmony of colour the stark pinnacles and precipices, the bleak far-off peaks, the gleaming streak of waterfall, and the cool, broad forests, deep in which the mountains on either side bury their feet.
