What reading level is Georgia Land And People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A large num- ber of emigrants, chiefly from Virginia, Xorth Carolina, and South Carolina, availed themselves of this opportunity to procure valuable homes. Most of them were poor, but of good lineage; and where indigence w r as so general, pov- erty brought no sense of shame. Intellect, energy and no- ble virtues alone placed a man above his fellows.
The work of clearing and cultivating the land w T as done under care of sentinels and scouts, whose duty it w T as to warn the laborers of any hos...tile Indians lurking in their vicinity. Every precaution was taken against these dusky foes, but the silent, unerring arrow often found its way to the heart of a sentinel, and then the men at work would be surprised and shot down with muskets.
These pioneers of middle and upper Georgia lived at first in log houses, wdiich w r ere built by the aid of neighbors.
Any man would have considered it an insult, had money been offered him for this friendly service. When the trees were felled and cut into the right lengths for building purposes, the whole neighborhood was asked to help in what was called a log-rolling, and the skeleton of a simple log cottage was soon erected.
