What reading level is Leaves From a Sportsman's Diary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was lounging about the Bates House, Indianapolis, trying to kill A NEGLECTED HOMESTEAD. 129 time (not waiting for a divorce to be granted ^) — rather a difficult matter in that superlatively stupid town. The hotel had a good cook, and all the delicacies of the season were abundant, and well served ; but a person cannot spend his life in eating and sleeping.
Let me see, there were two other divertissements in vogue which I had almost forgotten — viz., hoisting the demi-john and fighting the ti...ger. The first of these means drinking Bourbon, the other taking a hand at " faro.'* Now, I hate soaking indoors, and always have the most confounded luck when I touch a card ; so it 'may be imagined that I was no way loth, to seize any chance that offered to provide change of scene and mode of passing time. Such, providentially, occurred. A legal friend had to go out West to settle some details about transference of property. He requested me to accompany him, and, as an inducement to make me do so, enlarged voluminously upon the excellence and variety of the shooting to be found in the locality to which he was bound.
