What reading level is Indianas Canal Heritage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indiana had now awakened 43 to the fact that to reach the navigable waters of the Maumee, a portion of the canal must necessarily lie in Ohio. A con- ference was held between representatives of the two States in Cincinnati in 1829 and an agreement was formulated to the effect that Ohio should build that portion of the canal within her boundary and reimburse herself with the canal lands lying contiguous thereto. The Indiana Legislature wrestled with the question dur- ing 1829 and 1830. There was... much sentiment in favor of railroads. But to this propaganda the canal people had a crushing retort; to build railroads would make necessary the buying of rails, locomotives and other material in the East, whereas canals would require only timber and stone, which could be had within the State, and thus their money would be kept at home. The argument was a powerful one, though for the moment it brought about only the ratification of the agreement with Ohio. During the following winter, sales of canal lands were held at Logansport and Lafayette, but the results were dis- appointing.
