What reading level is A Guide to Florida for Tourists, Sportsmen And Settlers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
HISTORY OF THE EAST COAST RAILROAD 207 History of the Florida East Coast Railroad It was not until the building of the Florida East Coast Railroad that the real greatness of Flor- ida as a pleasure ground for this country, east of the Rocky Mountains, during the winter months, a health-bringing resort for all of the United States and a place in which to live, be- came really widely known. The census of 1880 showed but 269,493 people in the State; there were but 408 miles of railroads. In 1884, ...there was but little change from these figures. The East Coast of Florida was practically unknown.
That part of the State was only reached by the St. John's steamers, and uncomfortable connec- tions to the Indian river steamboats. There was no public carrier south of Jupiter Inlet.
Mr. Henry M. Flagler made his first journey to Florida in 1884. He visited St. Augustine and bought a marsh lying within the city gates, filled it up, and began the erection of the Ponce de Leon Hotel, a building of great beauty, of per- fect unity in its architectural design, and of most luxurious comfort.
