What reading level is Missionary Travels in Central Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was early in the day, but speed is no object now that food is plentiful, and, desiring to be as much among the people as possible, we camped where he asked us. His name is Sambula, a sensible-looking man, very anxious that I should also accept an ox as a present. I refused it, however, and said I would be content with the goat. I knew that in return he would expect powder, calico, and clothing in proportion.
December 1st. — At Sambula's request I remain with him to-day. He has been most impo...rtunate about my receiving his gift, and seeing that I was afraid to eat his ox, because of the recompense it would entail, he gave me a receipt for the ox in full as if I had bought and paid for it. This he did, as is the custom among the Bachokwe, by first declaring the matter to his people, then taking a twig, breaking it in two and throwing a part over each shoulder. The whole twig in front of him represented the question on hand ; the twig broken and cast behind the chief's back, the question decided and forgotten.
