What reading level is Hunting With the Eskimos the Unique Record of a Sportsmans Year Among the Nor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With the harpoon as a weapon, the hunters left the solid ice to spring lightly from one small piece to an- other until a pan large enough to hold them was reached, far out in the open lake. The pieces over which the passage was made were often so small that they would have sunk under a man's weight had he faltered or hesitated upon them for a moment. It seemed to me that the Eskimos were absolutely reck- less in this passage over the broken pieces, and took no account of the manner in which the...y should re- turn. Certainly only a fearless man with a clear eye and nerves of iron could accomplish it.
A large safe pan once attained, well in the midst of the blowing walrus, a stand was taken near its edge where, with harpoon poised, the hunter waited until a walrus came within striking distance. Then like lightning the weapon was sunk deep into the animal's body, and quick as a flash a harpoon shaft, provided with a heavy point of iron, was driven firmly into the ice, and several turns of the line taken around it and held taut by the Eskimos.
