What reading level is The Expedition of the Donner Party And Its Tragic Fate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eddy saw that poor Jay Fosdick was failing, and he begged him to sum- mon up all his courage and energy in order to reach the promised land, now so near. They were again without food; and William Foster, whose mind had become unbalanced by the long fast, was ready to kill Mrs. McCutchen or Miss Graves. Mr. Eddy con- fronted and intimidated the crazed sufferer, who next [83] THE EXPEDITION OF THE DONNER PARTY threatened the Indian guides, and would have carried out his threat then, had Mr. Eddy ...not secretly warned them against danger and urged them to flee. But nothing could save the Indians from Foster's insane passion later, when he found them on the trail in an unconscious and dying condition.
January 1, 1847, was, to the little band of eight, a day of less distressing trials; its members resumed travel early, braced by unswerving will-power. They stopped at midday and revived strength by eating the toasted strings of their snowshoes. Mr. Eddy also ate his worn out moccasins, and all felt a renewal of hope upon seeing before them an easier grade which led to night-camp where the snow was only six feet in depth.
