What reading level is In Savage Africa Or Six Years of Adventure in Congo Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the fetish-man, in order to maintain his reputation, invests all actual medical treatment with such elaborate magical surroundings as to convince the ignorant savage that the cure is due to the charm, and the application of the herbal mixture subservient to fetish agencies.
To his religious functions the Nganga unites those of the sur- geon and the physician, and whatever his pretentions in the one calling may be, his skill in the other is more than considerable. In skirmishes of intertriba...l warfare natives are often badly wounded ; powder is a scarce commodity in this part of the world, so the owner of a musket will not fire at his enemy unless he is near enough to be certain of his aim. The slugs used are rough pieces of copper, brass wnre, and stones of all shapes. These fired at a distance of twelve or fifteen yards inflict ugly wounds, and are found deeply embedded in the flesh. In the extraction of these rude bullets the fetish-man displays great surgical skill, al- though of course he always attributes such ability to the agency of his wonder-working charms.
