What reading level is Memoir of Charles Wentworth Upham book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upham concentrated upon Salem Village. A law of the General Court of Massachusetts, in 1647, had provided that all testimony which was to be brought forward in judicial proceedings, — in all cases whatever, petty or serious, — should be written down or dictated by the witnesses, and produced to be read before the courts. Files and masses of such papers have been preserved, relating to all the variances, disputes, embitterments, and controversies, the neighborly and domestic alienations and feud...s, in our primitive communities, alike in civil and in religious matters. From the minute investigation of collections of such papers concerning the people and the annals of Salem Village, Mr. Upham derived the materials for an almost marvellous reproduction of the very persons aud 31 families living there in 1692. He had traced the stern and grim surroundings and experiences of the first wilderness settlers in forests, thickets, and swamps, as they built their rude homes, opened their rough highways, set their watch upon Indian prowlers, and concerned themselves with the securities of law and gospel.
