What reading level is Pennsylvania Colonial And Federal a History 1608 1903 volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1823 the first cargo of anthracite was shipped around Cape Cod and delivered at the Boston iron w^orks, wdiere it was regarded as superior to the Rhode Island coal. In 1825, at Phoenixville, in this State, anthracite was first successfully used for generating steam. Nu- merous instances of attempts, successful and otherwise, to make use of anthracite coal for domestic and manufacturing purposes are found in various published accounts, but the above will suf- fice to show- something of the di...fficulties encountered in introduc- ing that commodity during the early years of the last century.
In relation to the expense of early and more recent transpor- tation, it may be said that the cost to Colonel Shoemaker in haul- ing his first nine wagon loads of coal from Pottsville to Philadel- phia was $28 per ton; to-day the cost of transportation by rail between the same points is $1. 70 per ton. All early efforts in tak- ing ct)ai to market by wagon were unprofitable, while boat navi- gation on the rivers, although less expensive than wagon trans- portation, was hazardous, and shippers frequently calculated on the loss of some of their l^oats and cargoes.
