What reading level is Walls History of Jefferson County Illinois book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They took a good grip on either side of the log with their fingers well down in the apperture, when Moore, by a dexterous stroke of the maul, hit the wooden wedge, causing it to fly out — catching the fingers of the red-skins so as to hold them fast in the closed fissure of the log. As soon as possible, Moore and his friends relieved them but they went away with revenge (the Indian characteristic) de- picted on their faces, and it is believed that they waited for a chance to "get even" with Moo...re and over-did the thing by killing him.
Maxey Wilkey was a soldier of 1812, and claimed to have been at the death of Tecumseh, who was killed at the battle of Thames. At the close of the war, Mr. Wilkey married a Miss Caldwell, came to Jefferson county and settled in Moore's Prairie in 1816. After the Moore tragedy, the Wilkeys, Crenshaws, the Cooks, Atchisons, were the first settlers of the Moore's Prairie sec- tion. In Atchison's big tree near his residence is where Professor Wil- son's ballon settled with the Harvey children in it, on the fearful night recorded above.
