What reading level is The Wonders of Alaska book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the finish of their barbaric stoicism, thej^ ap- proach the American Indian proper. To toughen themselves the better to withstand the rigidit}^ of the climate, the j^oung man will emerge from his vapor bath, nude, and plunge into the nearest stream, oftentimes having to break the ice, and then, after rolling in the snow, return to his hut, laboring under the impression that he has had a nice time. Mothers subject their infants to this severe treatment with the same object in view. In their i...mprovements upon nature they submit to many tortures in tattooing and cutting the flesh, most of which is done while chey are very young, and, where shamanism thrives most, cruelty is reduced to its most exquisite art.
Superstitious the Alaskan aborigine can hardly be called. That is, he does not allow himself to be governed by the natural phenomenon, which in such a measure surrounds him, nor will he be swayed by the appearance of the weather, sun, moon or stars, but will fish, hunt or perform an}^ duty he may be called upon to execute under any conditions whatso- ever.
