What reading level is Ten Great Adventurers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Traill says: "His highest and truest claim to the rank of a national hero is that he was filled with that spirit 172 SIR JOHN FRANKLIN which is ever more national than the love of adventure, more English even than the passion for the 'great waters' — the thirst for the discovery of the unknown. " When Lord Brougham was told that Franklin, then nearly sixty, was setting out again in quest of the Northwest Passage, he ex- claimed: "They cannot help it, these arctic fellows — it is in their blood!..." and true his assertion was.
That the passage for which Franklin sacrificed his life has proved to be useless as an avenue of commerce be- cause of the caprices of the seasons and the drift of the polar "pack" would have been of little moment to him. He had given his life for an ideal — the rest did not concern him. And in the eternal home to which he has gone values are adjusted, not by achievement, but by inspiration.
HERNANDO CORTES: ADVENTURER IN MEXICO CAPE ST. ANTONIO, at the extreme western end of the island of Cuba, was the scene of an unwonted spec- tacle.
