What reading level is The Oregon Trail book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both he and his squaw, hke most other Indians, were ver)' fond of their children, whom they indulged to excess, and never punished, except in extreme cases, when they would throw a bowl of cold water over them. Their offspring became sufficiently undutiful and dis- obedient under this system of education, which tends not a little to foster that wild idea of liberty and utter intolerance of restraint which lie at the ver)- foundation of the Indian character. It would be hard to find a fonder fat...her than Kongra-Tonga.
There was one urchin in particular, rather less than two feet high, to whom he was exceedingly attached ; and sometimes spreading a buffalo-robe in the lodge, he would seat himself upon it, place his small favor- ite upright before him, and chant in a low tone some of the words used as an accompaniment to the war- dance. The little fellow, who could just manage to balance himself by stretching out both arms, would lift his feet and turn slowly round and round in time to his father's music, while my host would laugh with delight, and look smiling up into my face to see if I were admiring this precocious performance of his offspring.
