What reading level is Porto Rico: the Land of the Rich Port book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two varieties of the Spanish cedar are occasionally found. A twelve-inch cedar plank, one inch thick and twelve feet long, will bring, in the mountains, one dollar.
Among the hard woods are mahogany, ebony, laurel, willow, and an odorless kind of sandalwood. The present supply of useful trees is not equal to the demand. The older buildings are constructed of native woods, but the houses of recent date are of hemlock, spruce, and pine, imported from Nova Scotia. The few sawmills in the island ar...e principally employed in cutting up cedar wood for cigar boxes, and in the making of ausubo wagon wheels.
One of Porto Rico's numerous names is " The Isle of the Gate of Gold. " How much of a gold field the is- land really is, no one can, at the present time, say. It certainly contains no such wealth of gold as California, Australia, or Alaska. Nor has it probably in any sense ever equaled its neighbor, Santo Domingo, whose gold- bearing river Columbus named Rio del Oro, the River of Gold. What he found in the bed of the river was but the washings from the great gold storehouses among the inland mountains.
