What reading level is The Black Moose in Pennsylvania book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
19 of Moose antlers at the salt-lick (now the centre of the City Park of Bradford, McKean County) in 1819, and the prevalence of the Moose-Wood or Leather- wood, show that they were present in that section probably a generation earlier. C. W. Dickinson, born in 1842, a great authority on wild life topics, who resides at Smethport, McKean County, states that when he was a boy he heard some of the old gray- haired men say that they had been told that there were Black Moose on the headwaters of Pi...ne Creek (Tiad'aghton) in an early day, but that he never heard anyone say that they saw one. That would establish the presence of Moose in Northern Potter and Tioga Counties, completing the evidence that thej^ lived at one time along the entire "Northern Tier" of Penn- sylvania Counties. It is stated that the early Scotch- Irish settlers along the Juniata River referred to the Moose as the Black Elk. It is understood that this name was sometimes applied in Ireland to the extinct "Irish Elk" {Megaccros hibeniicus) ; it would seem that the pioneers from the Emerald Isle noted the re- semblance between the palmated antlers of the ex- tinct forest monarch dug up in their own bogs and the Black Moose of their new Pennsylvania home.
