What reading level is Life And Letters of George Perkins Marsh book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of really moving sands we have seen almost nothing, and very little so soft that a horse's hoof would sink deeply into it. The ground of the surface is, for the most, too firm to be acted upon by the wind, though we have seen many sand columns, and a few times sand clouds of a formidable appearance, and our dinner was frequently too thickly peppered with silicious sand to be altogether agreeable.
" The scenery in the narrower wadees and ravines is grand beyond description, and though the mounta...ins are not of great height (Mount St. Catharine, near Mount Sinai, the highest in the peninsula, not being much above 8,000 feet) the precipices are often truly stupendous. The nearly perpendicular sides of the narrow valley of El Arbain, through which we passed to ascend Horeb, are from 800 to 1,500 feet high, and those of the magnificent Wadees El Ain and Weteer are of about the same elevation. The walls of Wadee Moosa, (Petra) which are not simply perpendicular but often overhanging, are in many places 700 feet high, and there are numerous other precipices equally formidable in the same range of mountains.
