What reading level is Minnesota And the Far West book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At all events, it was the only animal ex- cept a skunk that we saw upon the St Louis. The principal drawback to travelling in this part of America is the almost utter absence of all game ; so that not only is sport out of the question, but there is an actual difficulty in procuring means of subsis- tence with the rifle in case of the supply of flour running out. We tried the St Louis with fly, bait, and troll lines, but without the slightest success ; M 178 DEXTERITY OF VOYAGEUES. Indeed, the a...ppearance of the water is anything but promising ; it was the colour of coffee — so dark as to make navigation very dangerous. The utmost vigilance often failed to discover a jagged rock not three inches below the surface, upon which a severe blow might possibly have sunk us on the spot. As it was, we were often o])liged to jump out into the water, and eveiy evening there was a great deal of patching up, with gum, of woimds received on the l)ottoms and sides of the canoes. The dexterity of the voyageurs in everything connected with the inci- dents of our mode of travel was marvellous.
