What reading level is La Salle in the Valley of the St Joseph An Historical Fragment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here, then, was employment for sixteen of the party. The others must bend under the burden of the 48 equipment, consisting in this case of several thousand pounds. Some of the men were aged; Father Ribourde was sixty-four. Yet, we do not doubt, he carried his full share; he had shown a disposition to do as much at the Niag- ara portage. Both cheerful and full of enthusi- asm, he had always sought in every way to inspirit the men. How much did LaSalle himself carry? And what kind of a burden cou...ld the round and jo\ial Hennepin bear? Whatever share was taken from one man's shoulders must be laid on the already o\'erburdened back of another.
In starting on one of these wilderness jour- neys, it was customary to make very careful estimates of the capacity of each member of the expedition as a burden bearer. And in later times, it was the rule of the fur companies that any man who gave out on a portage, or fell with his burden, should be deserted in the wilder- ness. This might appear an awful penalty for laziness or an outrageous wrong against the weak and infirm.
