What reading level is Summer Gleanings, Or, Sketches And Incidents of a Pastor's Vacation [microform] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The eye takes in a wide expanse of waters, with vessels of every size and name, gracefully mov- ing in every direction under their load of canvas, and ever and anon the huge, but beautiful, steamboat is seen crowding her way past them all, sending out her two streams of smoke, which seem to hang to her as if not to be shaken off. On almost any day, 140 SUMMER GLEANINGS.
the bright waters are now alive with all kinds of craft, while the distant shores of Long Island, and the many little islands'... scattered along the shores, add to the beauty of the prospect.
But at the time of which I am about to speak, it was far otherwise. In the summer of 1813 no sail or craft of any kind was to be seen in the Sound.
The lighthouse kindled its nightly lamp, and the gulls on the low, flat islands kept up their night- watches, but there was nothing to be benefited.
We were in war, and every wing of commerce was clipped. The British ships of war so completely blockaded the Sound, that nothing could move, un- less now and then a small boat was seen to glide along the shore, where, at a moment's warning, she could run into the mouth of some hidden creek, or skulk behind some small island.
