What reading level is A History of the Character And Achievements of the So-Called Christopher ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their avarice, licentiousness, and brutality, exceeded all bounds ; the principal caziques, with the exception of the fikithful Guacanagari, joined in a league to expel the ty- rants who thus violated the hospitality which had been so gen- erously tendered them. Don Pedro Margarite, placed at the head of a hungry band, who were charged to march through the * country and maintain themselves as best they could, found it im- possible to enforce discipline. He saw with dismay the grow- ing disorder... throughout the colony, and felt that it should be remedied as speedily as possible, and the sovereigns made ac- quainted with the true state of things, that they might enforce measures for the proper government of the island.
This appears to have been the motive which induced Mar- garite, Bishop Boyle, and several Castilian nobles, to return to Spain in the ships which had brought out Bartholomew Co- lumbus.
Bishop Boyle seems to have had peculiar reasons for hasten- ing to Europe. He had been constituted, by the Pope, apostolic vicar and head of the Church in the Western lands.
