What reading level is Primitive Folk Studies in Comparative Ethnology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Red-skins speak very little, and the Apaches less than the rest ; they prefer to explain themselves by gesticu- lation. Some of them have been observed crouching round a fire and holding a long conversation, wherein they did nothing but move the lips;* a method which we have adopted for the instruction of deaf-mutes. The Apache language abounds in nasal and guttural sounds and smack- ings made with the tongue, which foreigners cannot always succeed in imitating ; the idiom is decidedly disa...greeable, and yet their immediate neighbours, the Mohaves, have a soft and sonorous speech, as harmonious as Italian or Japanese. 2 Let us note in passing the absence of all salutations, of any formula of welcome, or of farewell. 8 As morality, at least in its broad lines, is commensurate with the development of intelligence, it is not surprising to find it here reduced to its rudiments. These unhappy folk live almost entirely by plunder ; their raids are compli- cated by rape and murder; their fights are less contests than assassinations.
