What reading level is Impressions of the West And South During a Six Weeks' Holiday book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But when at St. Louis, I made enquiries as to the boats, and I found that they were considered as safe as those on any other waters. The fact of it is, that there has been great improvement of late years in steam- boat captains. Generally, they are part owners. There is a law enforcing an inspection, and in proportion as a boat's officers are careful, so does the boat obtain business ; and as steamers leave every day, there is much choice, not simply in the boat itself, but in the character of ...the master. Thus, as caution and good management tell in the receipts, they are at a premium. I myself can bear witness to the untiring zeal of Captain Dill, of the " Saint Nicholas," until he reached Cairo. There were soundings made every half mile, and in l)ad spots the boat crept along with extreme caution. The difficulty in the Mississippi navigation is that the channel is constantly varying.
What this autumn is a spot requiring peculiar caution, may be totally changed by the spring freshets.
