What reading level is The Turnpikes of New England And Evolution of the Same Through England, Virginia, And Maryland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The substitute route, offered by the Becket Turnpike, was too roundabout a way to reach Pittsfield from Springfield, and hope of a better line was exploited in the franchise of the Dalton and Middlefield, chartered June 20, 1807. But the route selected by this company was too difficult for the means of that time, and the road was never built. Not until the discovery of the pass through which the Westfield River makes its way between Becket and Middlefield, and its feasibility for a road, was th...is dream to be real- ized. It came many years after in the building of the Pontoosuc Turnpike.
The charter of the Sturbridge and Western Turnpike Corporation, granted June 20, 1807, was a variation from the usual practice, as the company was allowed to vary its route from a straight line if necessary.
But even that privilege did not enable the promoters to get their road on the map. The plan was to open a route from Providence to the First Massachusetts Turnpike in the town of Western, now Warren.
