What reading level is The Aborigines And the Colonists book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hurons, on receiving horses from the French, were filled with childish delight, and the men volunteered to assist the women in getting fire-wood — the driving of horses was a new diversion for idlers. But the gift was a fatal one at first : the horses ate the unfenced maize, and the village was thrown into consternation. When iron and brass kettles, with poor iron hatchets manufactured on purpose for the Indian trade, could be had in exchange for beaver- skins, there was no longer need for ...the la- borious making of earthen pots or stone hatchets ; the rudimentary arts of pottery and stone-cutting were quickly forgotten, and the Indian took a step backward in becoming by so much less an artificer and by so much more a mere hunter. Even the shell-beads which the sea-coast Indians manufactured with so much toil and painstaking, for orna- ment and money, were better made by the Dutch at Hackensack and Albany. The elaborate fur garments were ripped up and sold, and their kind made no more ; the duffel cloth, without so much as a hem or seam, was thrown about the shoulder, and the Indian was more than before a savage.
