What reading level is Mussel Resources of the Holston And Clinch Rivers of Eastern Tennessee book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was reported that at a distance of 20 miles up this stream a large proportion of good white shells were obtainable.
After entering the Tennessee River similar conditions prevailed, only elephant-ears and a very few white shells being taken. It was learned that below Knoxville there was a shoal with gravel bottom where many mussels were to be found, but without pearls. Conse-r quently the local informant had no knowledge of the varieties of the shells constituting this bed. A few days later i...t was found practical to visit the shoals referred to. A haul was begun at a point 200 feet above the shoals and continued through the shoals into the quieter water below. Each haul extended over a distance of 20 to 50 yards and each time 12 to 24 mussels were taken on a drag bearing 48 hooks.
This was the condition just above and on the shoals. Mussels were obtained throughout the entire width of the river, and some were taken in the quieter water below. After the boat was filled with mussels, a count showed that 90 per cent were elephant-ear and 10 per cent pig-toes, muckets, and others.
