What reading level is Memoir of George Barrell Emerson Lld book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' The writer dwells with the greater pleasure upon Mr. Emer- son's journey over the Central Pacific Railroad, because, in the spring of the same year (1870), it was his good fortune to pass over this road. Having in Europe participated with him in some of the rare advantages there offered, by a singular coincidence the year 1870 found us both in California. This Central Pacific road is throughout a marvel of civil engineering. It has triumphed over difficulties which might 80 well have appeared... impossible for human power to surmount. Even where the way was most level, wood and water and all essential materials had to be brought from great distances, while frequently there were trackless deserts and ragged mountains, deep gorges and stupendous cliffs. In places enormous ravines were spanned by intricate trestle-work. Elsewhere passages were drilled through solid rock. Some of these tunnels are two thousand feet in length, perforating one mass of granite. There are at least fifteen of these tunnels upon the line, covering in all more than six thousand feet.
