What reading level is The First International Railway And the Colonization of New England. Life And Writings of John Alfred Poor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Nulhegan and Clyde summit, on the Grand Trunk line, is only 1,158 feet above tide- water. Neither the Rutland nor Central lines, already built, or the Montpelier and St. Johnsbury lines pro- posed, afford, or can afford, a direct line across the state. If one of your representatives wants to reach Rutland from Montpelier, the state capital, he must either go northwest to Burlington 40 miles, thence south 67 miles lo Rutland, 107 miles in all; or run down 104 miles to Bellows Falls, thence 5...3 miles to Rutland, a total of 157 miles, when the distance between Montpelier and Rutland is only about 40 miles.
A line directly across the state from White River Junction to Rutland would shorten, by one half, the Digitized by Microsoft® THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY. 233 distance by railway to the state capital, and afford a natural and easy connection between all the railroads in that state. It would concentrate at Rutland a large amount of business, making it a great commercial town. I am told, among other projects in contempla- tion here, is the building of a canal from Lake Cham- plain.
