What reading level is A Defense of the Panama Route book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the line of crustal weakness that is occupied by Lakes Nicaragua and Managua there are distributed over a linear distance of A Defense of the Panama Route. 7 little more than 200 miles not less than 25 volcanoes, most of which have been active within a very modern period of time, while a number are still active to-day. A few actually lie within the basin of Lake Nicaragua itself. Coseguina, which lies only 60 miles distant from the line of the initially- proposed canal, went through a paroxy...sm in 1835 which has been described by the Geologist of the Nicaragua Canal Commission as "the most violent recorded eruption until surpassed by that of Krakatoa in 1883. " Yet, in the face of these facts, known to all geographers and geologists, the Isthmian Canal Commission would have us believe that so far as danger from this source is concerned the two routes stand equal !
It is not a little surprising that the only source of danger that the Commission associates with volcanic manifestations is that dependent upon the secondary phenomena of earth- quakes.
