What reading level is Manners And Customs of Several Indian Tribes Located West of the Mississippi in book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These mounds are regarded with great reverence, and are frequently resorted to by the Indians when in their neighbourhood, as places sacred to their devotional ex ercises.
There are other elevations differing materially from the mounds above noticed, which were formerly, and are at present, exclusively devoted to burying their dead. They are composed of stones and earth, placed in such a manner as to cover, and separate one dead body from another. These, however, are the bu rying places of the ...modern Indians, and will be more particularly noticed, when I treat of their manner of interment.
The memory of the squaws is the principal reposi tory of their historical treasures, for such are their traditions esteemed. Hence uncommon diligence and pains are taken by the aged, to repeat circumstantial ly to their children all that they themselves have been taught. They relate to a great variety of sub jects which no doubt at first originated in truth; but which, from a love of the marvellous, incident, I be lieve, to the whole human family, have in general been so transformed through a succession of ages, as to be entitled to no more credit, than the witchcraft stories and ballads, that constitute the evenings amusement, in some circles, among the white people.
