What reading level is The Adventures of Captain Bonneville book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes the crags and pro- montories forced them upon the narrow riband of ice th&t bor- dered the shore ; sometimes they had to scramble over vast masses of rock which had tumbled from the impending precipices ; sometimes they had to cross the stream upon the hazardous bridges of ice and snow, sinking to the knee at every step ; some- times they had to scale slippery acclivities, and to pass along narrow cornices, glazed with ice and sleet, a shouldering wall of rock on one side, a yawning p...recipice on the other, where a sin- gle false step would have been fatal. In a lower and less dan- gerous pass, two of their horses actually fell into the river ; one was saved with much difficulty, but the boldness of the shore prevented their rescuing the other, and he was swept away by the rapid current.
In this way they struggled forward, manfully braving diffi- culties and dangers, until they came to where the bed of the river was narrowed to a mere chasm, with perpendicular walls of rock that defied all further progress.
