What reading level is Twenty Years in Khamas Country And Pioneering Among the Batauana of Lake Ngami book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" There is not another piece of country to compare with it ; whether for its mineral wealth — for gold is to be obtained in its sand rivers simply by hand-washing, and from Mashonaland come axe-heads, spear-heads, and native hoes by thousands ; whether for the richness of its soil — for rice, cotton, corn, and honey are ever abundant, and food can be bought there cheaper than anywhere in South Africa ; whether for its abundance of water — every hunter speaks of it as a land of rivers and stream...s and fountains.
" What a home for needy thousands !
" Why should England not possess and administer it ? We on the spot see nothing to hinder it here. Here it is the confidendy expressed belief that had Sir C. Warren been free and unfettered in his action he could have obtained from Lobengula a concession — will- ingly and gladly given — of a strip of country along the north bank of the Limpopo, to form a border of separation between him and the Transvaal.
" Had this been done what possibilities of 17 258 TWENTY YEARS IN KHAMA'S COUNTRY hope rise before one's mind — hope for the Mashona, hope for the Makalaka, and hope even for the Matabele themselves !
