What reading level is Frontier Folk book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The money appropriation is only expended for such things as the soldiers can- not produce themselves. They cut the timber, run saw-mills, dig drains, make bricks and mortar, carry hods, and plaster the inside of houses. The cavalry- man is fortunate if he can leave off digging long 1 8 FRONTIER FOLK.

The Amer- ican soldier on the frontier is certainly a wonderful being. He is at most times a day-laborer, slouchy in his bearing and slovenly in his dress. His one good suit must be saved for guard-mounting, when his turn comes, or for inspection ; and the nature of his unmilitary vocations uses up his uniforms faster than his clothing allowance can furnish them. He has little or no real drill, and has been known to go into action without previously having pulled the trigger of his rifle.
