What reading level is Early Steamboating On the Minnesota And Red Rivers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First we cut two cotton- wood logs, ten feet long, and chopped out the middle to form a trough, leaving the ends and sides of each. We then spliced them together, calked them, and built a platform on this scow for men to stand on to drive stakes. The stakes were cut about seven feet long and sharpened. We commenced to drive from the east shore, and drove a straight line of stakes to the boat. We had a man at each end of the scow, to hold it up to the stakes, and to move it as the stakes were dr...iven. There was a very strong cur- rent over the bar. We knew that if the dam was not a success there would be starvation, for our provisions were nearly ex- hausted and we were a long way from civilization.
Now came the tug of war. Our crew cut cottonwood logs, twelve feet long, and rolled them to the river. This was hard work. All brush had to be cut in front of the logs to clear the way. When in the water two or three men would follow them to place them in line above the stakes. This was done until we had enough to reach to the boat.
