What reading level is The Making of a Great Canadian Railway the Story of the Search for And Discover book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though the situation in the Lake Abitibi country was eased now very decidedly, that around Lake Nipigon occasioned considerable anxiety for a long time. Indeed, it is a moot point whether the country traversed by the railway north of this sheet of water was not more difficult of penetration than that more to the east. Supplies could be brought by rail and boat to Nipigon, nestling in an indent on Nipigon Bay, a sheltered corner on Lake Superior, but from that point northwards the undertaking wa...s distinctly hazardous. Just north of Nipigon town is Helen Lake, the upper end of which is 18 miles distant from Lake Nipigon.
When the contractors desired to push into the country they set to work building a narrow-gauge railway to connect Lakes Nipigon and Helen. A tug and scow were placed in service on Lake Helen, by which supplies could be conveyed to the northern shore to be transferred to the railway, by which they were moved forward to the southern end of Lake Nipigon. Messrs. Revillon Brothers, the well-known fur-traders, and active competitors of the Hudson's Bay Adventurers, undertook to bring up materials and to build a steam barge — no slight under- taking in itself — by which the material could be shipped from the northern end of the narrow-gauge railway to the head of the lake for distribution wherever desired.
