What reading level is A History of New York From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch D book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This mode of improvising is common throughout the savage tribes; and in this way, with a few simple inflections of the voice, they chant all their exploits in war and hunting, and A TOUR OF THE PRAIRIES. 27 occasionally indulge in a vein f . L comic humor and dry satire, to which the Indians appear to me much more prone than is generally imagined.
In fact, the Indians that I have had an opportunity of seeing in real life are quite different from those described in poetry. They are by no means t...he stoics that they are represented; taciturn, unbending, without a tear or a smile. Taciturn they are, it is true, when in company with white men, whose good- will they distrust, and whose language they do not understand ; but the white man is equally taciturn under like circumstances. When the Indians are among themselves, however, there cannot be greater gossips. Half their time is taken up in talking over their adventures in war and hunting, and in tell- ing whimsical stories. They are great mimics and buffoons, also, and entertain themselves excessively at the expense of the whites with whom they have associated, and who have supposed them impressed with profound respect for their grandeur and dignity.
