What reading level is A History of Lewis County West Virginia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes they were not even worked by the people who had been designated in the order creating the road Road overseers were frequently in trouble with the courts for "failing to keep the road in repair. " At a single session of the county court held in 1821, indict- ments were returned against George Fisher, John Wag- goner, Henry Flesher and John Sleeth, all of whom were in charge of important roads through rather pop- ulous communities. Two of the roads which were not in repair were approach...es to Weston, one by the river from the north, the other from Polk creek.
The hopes of the early residents of Weston for the rapid growth of the town were not so much in the build- ing of roads, as in the development of slackwater navi- gation on the West Fork river. One of the reasons for the choice of the site as the county seat was the belief that the mouth of Stone Coal creek was the head of nav- igation of the Monongahela. In 1817 a company was in process of formation to canalize the river, which, if it had succeeded, would have made Weston a great commer- cial center.
