What reading level is Appalachian Forest Reserve, Etc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Over fort}' peaks and 6,500 acres of land, lying in the Blue Ridge and Unaka mountains and intervening ridges, have an ele- vation of over 6,000 feet, while the whole region has an approximate altitude of 2,500 feet. The slopes, though steep, are seldom precipitous, being rounded and softened by age, and are mostly covered by a deep soil which is kept porous by the deca} T ing vegetable matter, the mulch of the forest, and held in place by the roots of the trees, shrubs, and grasses growing upo...n it. In many of the transverse ranges, however, the bare and precipitous sides, carved from great masses of granite, lend a touch of variety to the scenery, and wherever the forests have been destroyed the soil, deprived of its support from the roots of the trees and the decaying leaves that cover it, quickl} T yields to erosion and yawning gullies scar the face of the hills.
DRAINAGE.
This region is drained by man}- large rivers, most of which rise in the Blue Ridge, for, though not the highest, this range is the oldest, and constitutes the divide for waters flowing east and west.
