What reading level is The Anglo-Saxons of the Kentucky Mountains: a Study in Anthropogeography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The same is true of his corn, which is his only super- abundant crop; and this, therefore, by a natural economic law, the mountaineer is led to convert into a form having less bulk and greater value. He makes moonshine whisky, and not all the revenue officers of the country have succeeded in suppressing this industry.
At our first camping-place, only 15 miles from the railroad, we were told there were twenty illicit stills within a radius of 5 miles. Two women, moreover, were pointed out to us
...who carried on the for- bidden industry; their husbands had been killed in feuds, so they continued to operate the stills to support their families. Living so far from the arm of the law, the mountaineer assumes with charac- teristic independence that he has a right to utilize his raw material as he finds expedient. He thinks it laudable to evade the law — an opinion which is shared by his fellows, who are ready to aid and abet him. He therefore sets up his still in some remote gorge, overhung by trees and thickly grown with underbrush, or in some cave whose entrance is efi:ectually screened by boulders or the dense growth of the forest, and makes his moonshine whisky, while he leaves a brother or partner on guard outside to give warning if revenue officers attempt a raid.
