What reading level is The Great River the Story of a Voyage On the Yangtze Kiang book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The country around Changteh had been so admirably ordered while these northern troops under their eccentric leader were there that it was the envy of all the country. When they finally were taken north in 1920 to engage in frontier warfare, there was a great scramble among all the soldier bands to get into this rich territory which had remained so long unlooted. Feng Yu-hsiang's very jfigure is com- manding — taU and bony, well built ; he is absolutely serious ; nor does he stand on the street ...corners and thank God that he is not a sinner.
Yochow was at one time a port of some importance for the transhipment of materials from interior Hunan. But since Changsha became a treaty port and the rail- way from Wuchang extended to that city, Yochow has lost much of her former importance. Steamer traffic is only possible in the summer to these ports. There are wood oil and minerals and camphor to be brought out. But Yochow figures only shghtly in that trade now.
THE STORM-BEATEN GATEWAY TO HUNAN 81 The most picturesque cargoes which pass the neg- lected port of entrance to Hunan are the great timber rafts that move slowly toward the Yangtze from Kuei- chow by the Yuan river and from West or East Lake in Hunan by the many rivers that cut that province.
