What reading level is Through Siberia An Empire in the Making book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Kirghis and the Cossacks and the Siberiaks, the last the descendants of the first settlers who married the natives, are occupied with most of the grazing. Large tracts of land for that purpose are granted them. The Tartars are Mohammedans ; their mosques are to be found in every town of size in Western Siberia.
The Kirghis are the remnants of the old Turko-Mon- golian hordes that at one time threatened to overrun Eu- rope, but which, as the Cossacks came farther and farther into the new ter...ritory, receded and were beaten into sub- SETTLING SIBERIA 105 jection. The present tribes live in yurtas or felt tents, and raise sheep, horses, camels, goats and cattle.
In the neighborhood of Lake Baikal one meets with the Booriats, and in the neighborhood of Barnaoul and Min- usinsk, the Kalmucks. The Government is making great effort to induce these natives to settle down to farming. The establishment of a governmental instruction farm on the edge of the Gobi Desert has not as yet met with much success as these tribes are inherently nomadic and do not prove good husbandmen.
