What reading level is The Switzerland of America a Summer Vacation in the Parks And Mountains of Col book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gray, Lincoln, Pike's and Long's Peaks are the four great mountains of explored Colorado; they are all above fourteen thousand feet high, but prob- ably no one goes higher than fourteen thousand five hundred.
Montgomery, which lies close at the foot of Mount Lincoln, on the inside, and is about ten thousand feet high, is another of the deserted mining towns of Colorado. There are a hundred or two houses standing, but only one now occupied. Several years ago, the mines in the hill-sides were ric...h and remunerative, and a population of two or three thousand were gathered there. There was an opera house, and saloons and stores by the dozens ; but the more readily worked ore gave out, there were no means to reduce profitably what fol- lowed in the mines, and fresher discoveries else- where invited the people "to move on. " "Buck- skin Joe" is another similar town, five miles off, under another spur of Mount Lincoln. There are good and rich mines at both places, and new ones are even still being discovered ; but like most of the ores of Colorado, they await cheaper labor and simpler and more searching processes of treat- ment for their profitable use.
