What reading level is The Panama Canal Its Past Present And Future book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' 1 In eight years this expenditure amounted to 300, 000, 000 dollars; more than three times the sum for which the Suez Canal was con- structed. Exorbitant prices were paid for moving soft material, and the harder work was neglected: cheating by contractors was rife. Nevertheless the excavation of the 1 Encyc. Brit. , Panama Canal.
THE WORK OF THE FRENCH 67 Culebra Cut was carried on by the French contractors organised by M. Bunau-Varilla, that faithful champion of the canal, and this has prove...d of permanent utility; as has the dredging at the Atlantic entrance, which was let to an American contractor. Further, numerous young French engineers, with the utmost care and diligence, carried out surveys and made maps, working with enthusiasm in the fever-stricken jungle, and literally earning reputations or the grave, for the deaths from yellow fever and malaria grew terribly.
It was not that the plan of a tide-level canal was physically impossible, but that the cost had not been counted before- hand; the appliances of the period were insufficiently developed, and, perhaps more than all, the ravages of disease weighed against the heroic French.
