What reading level is The Backwoods of Canada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scarcely a leaf or bough was inmotion, excepting at intervals we caught the sound of the breezestirring the lofty heads of the pine-trees, and wakening a hoarse andmournful cadence. This, with the tapping of the red-headed and greywoodpeckers on the trunk of the decaying trees, or the shrill whistlingcry of the little striped squirrel, called by the natives "chitmunk, "was every sound that broke the stillness of the wild. Nor was I lesssurprised at the absence of animal life. With the exception... of theaforesaid chitmunk, no living thing crossed our path during our longday's journey in the woods.
In these vast solitudes one would naturally be led to imagine that theabsence of man would have allowed Nature's wild denizens to haveabounded free and unmolested; but the contrary seems to be the case. Almost all wild animals are more abundant in the cleared districts thanin the bush. Man's industry supplies their wants at an easier rate thanseeking a scanty subsistence in the forest.
You hear continually of depredations committed by wolves, bears, racoons, lynxes, and foxes, in the long-settled parts of the province.
