What reading level is Every Day Life in Washington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In one pair of shoes thus made, with soles of bufflilo hide and koodoo uppers, we have performed three journeys of eighty miles each, with quite enough intermediate walking to make up the 300.
It may be thought that we have insisted too much on the lightness and pliability of foot gear, but it must be remembered that we now speak of what, under particular conditions, we have found useful. A change of circumstances might render large and heavy boots an abso- lute necessity. The American Indian w...ears the lightest possible mocassin ; the South African, when he comes near his game, takes off his sandals, that he may step as noiselessly as a cat. The European hunter will do well to follow their example as closely as he can, and, whatever the form of the foot-gear he adopts may be, let it be light and flexible enough to walk, jump, climb, or run with facility.
The principle of the mocassin appears to be that in almost universal use among all the Esquimaux and North American Indians, the leading difference in form of construction being that the former usually carry the upper leather up over the leg to form a species of boot, whilst the latter covers the foot only with the mocassin.
