What reading level is Sudden Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have done many things in a life that I may with some modesty consider to have been eventful, and met men enough to fill any body of memoirs, but for richness and excitement the intervening years have yielded no crop to match that early harvest.
The reader has already met Blackwater, who fought with John Chivington of evil memory and told stories of Nelson Miles's thirteen-hundred-mile pursuit of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce to the border of Canada; and Christopher Agnes, whom I saw catch... a grandfather diamondback in mid-strike in his bare hands and, in almost the same motion, whirl it around by its tail and dash out its brains against the trunk of a cottonwood, then curse the reflexes that had cost him such a fine specimen. Add to them a Negro wrangler named Eli Freedman with a withered arm he claimed to have burned when General Sherman set Atlanta to the torch, and who seemed far more at ease with the horses in his charge than with his fellow men; a long-haired dandy named Mike McPhee, who had toured with Colonel Cody's show until the Colonel fired him for paying attention to a trick rider the Colonel admired himself, and boasted, in an Irish brogue as thick as turned earth, that he could pluck out a prairie dogs eye at forty paces with either hand, had he but access to the matched and specially balanced Americans that now resided in the wagon with the other weapons; and Bald Jim, whose surname was never known to me, whose benign aspect and prematurely nude scalp moved the younger members of the party to call him Dad, and who, Wedlock confided, had slain three Arapaho braves who broke into his cabin on the Powder River during the terrible winter of 1873, then eaten them.
