What reading level is The Treasure Finders Or How the Adventurers of Four Countries Sought a New Lan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Francis provided his man with four ships, and he sailed from Dieppe toward the end of the year 1523. A terrible storm drove him back to Brittany with two of his vessels. What became of the other two was never explained, nor why, when he sailed again, he had only one caravel called the Dauphine. With this ship he made straight for Madeira, which he 180 OPENING GATEWAY OF CANADA 181 reached in January 1524. From there he sailed for the coast of the unknown world, and the low shore they first sigh...ted was somewhere near Wilming- ton, North Carolina. He also touched the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, everywhere marvelling at the savages who always came in festive array to meet them.
Verrazani was the first to see the Bay of New York, but unlike Henry Hudson, who followed him nearly a century later, he thought nothing of the vast sheets of water within easy reach. His eyes were opened only for gold, and he thought he saw signs of mineral wealth in the neighbouring hills.
If we can believe the old records, Verrazani fol- lowed the shores of Long Island till he reached an island which may have been Block Island, and thence to a harbour which most likely was New- port.
