What reading level is Manhatta; a Legend of the Hudson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gave pleasure to the savage ; and its gleam Shall flash on future ages, as on me.
Emblem of life ! wall-bound, and only free To seek the ocean of eternity !
In it, no shallow streamlet hast thou viewed, — No meager Khone, or poor, though storied Rhine ; Or stagnant Thames, 'neath bridge and burden mewed j MANHATTA. 67 Or listless Po— sleeping like all its clime — Sunk in the filth of long corrupted time.
It is a river — nay, an onward sea, Where leagues of waters roll at random, free As are the... wildest winds upon the lea.
It is a Rubicon, where gods might paiise ; A Hellespont, which few of men might dare ; An Indus broad, where superstition's laws Might furnish untold millions with a bier.
Upon its eastern shore, with gentle sweep, Knoll upon knoll, and hills on hillocks sleep, Till far away, with undulating rise, Blend knoll and hillock with descending skies.
But in its western walls, how wild and strange The contrast, shown unto its eastern range.
The watery plain but seems a lengthened moat Before the line of castellated towers.
