What reading level is Alaska Basketry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Nome passen ger steamers, stopping at Unalaska, form the nearest approach of travel to the westward reaches of the Aleu tian Chain. Once a year an island trader's schooner Thirty-two From the Collection of the Author visits them, carrying needed supplies, and bringing away furs and the year's output of baskets, except such as they keep for their friends of the revenue cutter which makes its annual call soon after. (Porter. ) Primitive man makes use of the means at hand. No timber of any sor...t, but abundant wild rye grass, grows upon these islands. Hence, grass is the material of their basketry. It is all flexible, and the grass is often split to such extreme fineness that the resulting basket will not hold its sides upright. The women gather it with care, searching far for the best growth, like all good weavers, selecting only the two or three choice leaves on the plant, and curing them slowly in the shade of their houses. By gathering earlier or later, and curing in varying degrees of dampness and shade (there is little else!) they obtain delicate variations in the color of the cured strands, which they use most effectively in the warp of some of the work.
