What reading level is Christopher Columbus And the New World of His Discovery : a Narrative book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their best progress was made at dawn and sunset, when the land breeze blew off the island ; and during the day they encountered a good deal of colder weather and easterly winds, which made their progress slow. Every day they put in at one or other of the natural harbours in which that beautiful coast abounds ; every day they saw natives on the shores who generally fled at their approach, but were often prevailed upon to return and to converse with the natives on board the Admiral's ship, and to... receive presents and bring parrots and bits of gold in exchange. On one day a party of men foraging ashore saw a beautiful young girl, who fled at their approach ; and they chased her a long way through the woods, finally capturing her and bringing her on board. Columbus " caused her to be clothed " — doubtless a diverting occupation for Rodrigo, Juan, Garcia, Pedro, William, and the rest of them, although for the poor, shy, trembling captive not divert- ing at all — and sent her ashore again loaded with beads and brass rings — to act as a decoy.
