What reading level is Along New England Roads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But our graveyards are very much more frequent with- out than with churches, or any buildings, in them ; and churches are far more numerous without than with graveyards near them.
Most of the country graveyards are lonesome and mournful-looking places, often far away from any houses, frequently showing no indications of care nor any footprints of visitors. In and near the large villages one finds very beautiful cemeteries, demonstrating the existence of reverence for the place of final rest. Bu...t the lonesome burial-places that I pass along the road are for the most part open fields, with waving grass and golden-rod, and often thickets of brush, but without trees. This must not, however, be taken as evidence of forget- 7 98 ALONG NEW ENGLAND ROADS fulness of the dead, or intentional neglect of their graves. It proceeds simply from the fact that no one has suggested to the people the idea of com- bining effort to make the graveyard a place of beauty as well as of repose. It is in fact part of that lack of education in love of beauty which pre- vails among laborious communities, with whom life is a very constant struggle, whose days are none too long for the earning of a livelihood.
