What reading level is Christopher Columbus His Life And His Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were obliged to bend their bodies under the fervour of a tropical sun, either to raise food for their taskmasters, or to sift the sands of the streams for the shining grains of gold. Peter Martyr relates, with an unspeakable pathos, how their sorrows and sufferings wove themselves into doleful songs and ballads, and how with plaintive tunes and mournful voices they bewailed the servitude into which they had been thrown.
At last they determined to avail themselves of a most desperate remedy.... They observed how entirely dependent the Spaniards were upon such food as was supplied by the natives. They now agreed, by a general concert of action, not to cultivate the articles of food, and to destroy those already growing, in order by famine to starve the strangers or drive them from the island. This policy was carried into effect. They abandoned their homes, laid waste the fields, and withdrew to the mountains, where they hoped to subsist on roots and herbs.
Although this policy produced some distress among the Spaniards, still they had the resources of home ; and it is certain that the suffering of the natives even from hunger was far greater than was the suffering of THE SECOND VOYAGE.
