What reading level is How the Dutch Came to Manhattan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hitherto Manhattan Island had been looked upon merely as a trading post, but now, with a full appreciation of its value and importance as a settlement and a province, attention was turned in that direction, and immigration set in soon after ; a charter being granted to the Dutch West India Company for purposes of trade and colonization, the foundations of the city were laid in earnest.
In 1623 the New Netherlands a ship of two hundred and sixty tons, brought over thirty Wal- loon families, who ...were distrib- WmmMmmmM 36 uted at various points along the Hudson River and the shores of Long Island Sound, thereby ex- tending and increasing the Dutch occupation, under whose direc- tion and rule they had emigrated.
The following year a treaty alliance was formed between Hol- land and Great Britain, which en- couraged Holland to strengthen her political, commercial, and social status in the New World by sending over still other bands of settlers.
In this relation it is to be re- corded, even unto the present day, the preservation of the Dutch characteristics of nomen- clature, manners, and customs noticeable alike in architecture.
