What reading level is Life Among the Indians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The portrait was a three-quarter face, and the eyes looking off. He said " I had painted all the others right, looking straight forward. He had been always in the habit of looking white men in the face ; but here they would all see him with his face turned the other way, as if he was ashamed. " He requested me to alter it, and make his eyes look straight for- THE AUTHOE CHALLENGED. 163 ward. The chiefs were all pleased with it, and advised me not to do so.
He had learned a few days afterwards... that I was not going to change his eyes in the portrait, and the interpreter came into my wigwam, and said I had got to fight ; that the young man was in front of my wigwam, and ready, and he believed there was no alternative.
I went out with my palette in my hand, and to be sure, here he was, entirely naked and ready. I ex- plained to him that I was very much surprised, and that I loved him too much to fight him ; and also, that I had not thought he was so much offended with his portrait, which the chiefs all liked so much ; and if to alter the eyes of his picture was all that he wanted, I would do it with the greatest pleasure the next day.
