What reading level is New Mexico Historical Review volume 20 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The stir- rups are pieces of hardwood, ingeniously wrought, and of the same shape as those which are used in civilized countries. They are covered with a piece of deer-skin which is sewed on wet, and in drying stiffens and becomes hard and firm. The saddles for women differ in form, being furnished with the antler of a deer, so as to resemble the high pommelled saddle of the Mexican ladies. . . . The form of the saddles used by the females, proves that they have taken their pattern from the Spa...n- ish ones. . . . 10 From the above accounts it can be inferred that the Indians of the horse-using tribes of the present United States generally used saddles. Probably the widespread belief that Indians were bareback riders grew out of some artists' conceptions of Indian horsemen. The Hollywood version of the American redskin has followed the erroneous notion that saddles were unknown to the Indians. Actually there were very skillful saddle-makers among all the horse- using tribes, and very few instances when Indians chose to ride without saddles.
