What reading level is Our Southern Highlanders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have not found this malady mentioned in any treatise on medicine; yet it has been known from our earliest frontier times. Abraham Lincoln's mother died of it. That the hill folk remain a rugged and hardy people in spite of unsanitary conditions so gross that I can barely hint at them, is due chiefly to their love of pure air and pure water. No mountain cabin needs a window to ventilate it: there are cracks and cat-holes everywhere, and, as I have said, the doors are always open except at nigh...t. " Tight houses, " sheathed or plastered, are universally despised, partly from inherited shiftlessness, partly for less obvious reasons.
THE PEOPLE OF THE HILLS 231 One of Miss MacGowan's characters fairly insulted the neighborhood by building a mod- ern house. "Why lordyl Lookee hyer, Creed, " remonstrated Doss Provine over a question of matching boards and battening joints, " ef you git yo' pen so almighty tight as that you won't git no fresh air. Man's bound to have ventila- tion. Course you can leave the do' open all the time like we-all 4o; but when you're a- holdin' co't and sech-like maybe you'll want to shet the do' sometimes — and then whar'U ye git breath to breathe?
