What reading level is Makers of American History William Penn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Their plan was to engage Italians to accompany the expedition, who should give instruction in the art of feeding the worms and winding the threads. By a careful culti- vation of the trees, and urging the business upon the attention of the settlers as a direct way to prosperity, they hoped to surprise the nation with remittances of silk in a short time, and thus to convince the people of the importance of the colony to the mother coun- try. There was no defect of wisdom in the plan ; it shows th...e activity of mind with which Oglethorpe sought everywhere the means of success; it did not prosper, because it was premature ; such things can- not be forced into existence before their time. In the early days of a Colony in the wilderness, the struggle necessary to subdue the soil will generally create a distaste and contempt for the more quiet and domestic labors. As to introducing it against the wishes of the people, they had the example of Henry the Fourth of France, to show that such a measure would require the exercise of power which they did not possess.
