What reading level is Our Federal Lands a Romance of American Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is an axiom that every generation has the Congress which it deserves. During these generations the people of America slept soundly, so far as concerned the national interest in its forests.
Rapidly reviewing the acts of Congress and the rulings of departments during these years of forest dissipation, one is more powerfully impressed by the absence of national horizons and the paralysis of the moral sense on the part of both operators and legis- lators even than he is by the frightful losses ...which the greed of quick wealth imposed on the nation. Each state insisted intensely on disposing as it pleased of the nation's lumber grown within its own boundaries, each lumberman and speculator grabbed strenuously all he could get while it lasted, and each legislator demanded his fullest share of political power and prestige ; nearly all of them ignored abso- lutely the nation's interest.
Here and there we find emerging on the records of Congress a man of national vision; the rest ap- pear what the rest always are, either self-seekers or lookers-on.
