What reading level is Lafayette National Park Report volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the only national park — using the word in its descriptive sense — that fronts upon the sea, and it repiesents at its culminating point one of the oldest and most important recreation areas upon •the continent — the New p]ngland coast. It is a tract of extraordinary variety and interest, a bold mountain chain com- pressed ^^^thin the limits of an island 15 miles across— though 70 or 80 in its ocean frontage. A dozen or more separate j)eaks, deeply divided by lakes and gorges and an ocean ...inlet, make u]) tliis chain. The most beautiful woods remaining on that coast — once famous for its timber — lie around the mountain bases. The lands constituting the monument have been for over fiO years the object of resort from all the great eastern cities, from southern ones extending to New Orleans. And central ones to h't. Louis. Now, over 50. 000 people visit the monument each summer, making it third among the national park areas in the number of its visitors. Placed as it is in relation to the great eastern population centers, and equally accessible by boat and motor as by train, this number may readily be doubled within a few years' time by right development.
