What reading level is Illinois in the Fifties book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as frost was out of the ground, usually from the first to the middle of April, plowing began. This first plowing, or " breaking-up ", was done with a team of horses or yoke of oxen, and as the ground had not been disturbed since the previous season, it was firm enough to make the plow "scour" nicely and open up a long straight furrow, from which the bright mould-board rolled up and turned to one side the rich, loose soil of the great corn-growing state.
As the whole field was turned up ...from four to eight inches deep, it followed that nearly everything in the vegetable or animal way that had here a home was either destroyed or seriously disturbed by the plow- share. Quails, prairie chickens, and other species of birds that build their nests on the ground had these broken up and destroyed utterly. Gophers, ground- squirrels, moles, and various species of field-mice that find homes by burrowing in the ground, had their domi- ciles suddenly invaded and rudely torn asunder by the plow, just as lordly man sometimes has his more pre- 112 Strange But True tentious dwelling ruined or wiped out of existence by the all-devastating cyclone.
