What reading level is Hitting the Dark Trail book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No miner delving for gold in the frozen Arctic, with the thermometer at sixty below zero, and the earth frozen for God only knows how far down, has ever sweated and struggled more than I. No soldier upon the weary march, loaded down by his heavy knapsack and gun, with the mud halfway to his knees, has ever had to fight as I have. My success, what little I have gained, has been literally dug out of the solid rock of adversity, with naked, bleeding fingers.
To meet my first lecture engagement I d...rove ten miles in an open carriage in one of the worst sleet and rain storms that I ever experi- enced, only to find that the hall was closed and the lecture off for that night.
For my second engagement I drove eight THE LITERARY STRUGGLE 101 miles in a blinding snowstorm to find thirteen people waiting to hear me. I received a dollar and sixty-five cents for this lecture, and spent five for advertising and team hire, while the janitor took pity on me and gave me the hall hire.
For the first two or three years of my lec- turing experience I stuck almost entirely to the country towns, partly through having un- derestimated the quality of my lectures, and partly because I wished to perfect myself as a public speaker by practicing on the simple country people.
