What reading level is Northern California, Oregon, And the Sandwich Islands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These rocks, probably of volcanic origin, and bare and desolate, lie ina line from south-east to north-west--curiously enough the same linein which the islands of the Hawaiian or Sandwich Island group have beenthrown up. Geologists say they are the outcrop of an immense granite dike.
The southernmost island, which is the largest--just as Hawaii, thesouthernmost of the Sandwich Island group, is also the biggest--extendsfor nearly a mile east and west, and is three hundred and forty feet high. It... is composed of broken and water-worn rocks, forming numerous angularpeaks, and having several caves; and the rock, mostly barren and bare, has here and there a few weeds and a little grass. At one point there is asmall beach, and at another a depression; but the fury of the waves makeslanding at all times difficult, and for the most part impossible.
The Farallones are seldom visited by travelers or pleasure-seekers. Thewind blows fiercely here most of the time; the ocean is rough; and, topersons subject to sea-sickness, the short voyage is filled with themisery of that disease.
