What reading level is ...Our Own Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
4. As you near the city, you see the smoking chimneys of a great manufactory in a large town on the lake shore, called South Chicago. Steel rails for railroads are made at South Chicago. It is very interesting to see how the steel is made of melted iron that comes out of the furnace like running brooks of fire, and is afterwards moulded into rails on great machines. When the rails have cooled and hardened they are ready to be laid on the wooden ties of a railroad bed.
5. There are a great numbe...r of railroads coming into Chicago from every direction. One way of entering the city is along the shore of the lake.
The railroad tracks are very near the water's edge.
From the car windows, as you ride into the city over these tracks, you can see the waves of the lake dashing up against long breakwaters, which, not unlike piers, are built out from the shore.
There are frequently men and boys to be seen fishing on these breakwaters.
6. As your train comes down into the city, you pass a large, open, grassy place, planted with a few 104 THE WORLD AND ITS PEOPLE trees.
