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

A very 'pretty instance of shifting nodality was seen when the Missouri Pacific was build- ing. The construction just preceding the Civil War was not steady, but intermittent. The railroad reached Tipton, and this town re- mained the terminus for a year. Here concentrated the mail and trade routes to the southwest and high hopes of a future metropolis were aroused. The next year the railroad was extended to Otterville, and this in turn became the center of trade, many houses being moved from Ti...pton. Smithton was the next terminus and finally the rail- road reached Sedalia, where further construction was delayed by the war. Here the terminus remained for several years. Besides being a commercial center, Sedalia was the shipping point for vast quanti- ties of military stores used in the military movements of that locality. Moreover, Sedalia was located in a fertile, rapidly settling prairie region and by the time the railroad was built westward Sedalia had secured a momentum which she was able to hold.
