What reading level is Home Life in Early Indiana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cotton too, was grown in the dooryard.
Matches in the early days were unknown, so the matter of starting fires was a serious one. Often, when a settler was unfor- tunate enough to let his fire die out in the fireplace, he sent to his nearest neighbor to borrow coals to rekindle it. Usually a blaze was kindled by means of punk.^^ It was a peculiar, dry, spongy wood found in the knots on the trunks of the trees and also in larger branches. Hickory trees especially furnished excellent punk. Bu...t the substance was not plentiful, and was rather valuable. It was absolutely necessary to keep it dry; the least dampness rendered it useless. To start a fire a small bit of punk was held close to a flint which, when struck with a piece of steel, let fall a shower of sparks upon it. One of these sparks beginning to burn, the punk was surrounded with dry tow or leaves and the mass fanned into a blaze. Then with dry kindling-wood a good fire was built.
THE PROBLEM OF CLOTHING The dress of the early settlers was entirely homemade, but it was suitable for the life which he led.
