What reading level is Nantucket a History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These were all 252 Nantucket introduced from Europe by the early settlers because of their medicinal qualities. Yarrow {Achillea Millie- joliiim L. ), tansy {Tanacetum vulgare L. ), and boneset {Eiipatorium perfoliatum L. ) doubtless recall to the minds of many dried bunches of herbs hanging in rows from beams in the attic, ready to be brewed into bitter teas for some unlucky victim.
The inhabitants of Nantucket very early deplored the scarcity of wood on the island, and various attempts at ref...orestation have been made. To these attempts we owe the most noted of all our Nantucket plants, the heathers. Among imported Scotch pines at Miacomet we find the heather, or ling, [Calhina vulgaris (L). Hull, ], and a European heath {Erica Tetralix L. ). For many years, the locality of these two plants was a jealously guarded secret, and as a consequence they have been protected from ruthless picking, and, at present, appear to be thoroughly well established. New clumps are found each year, the plants gradually spreading in an easterly direction, probably because the seed is carried in that direction by the westerly winds prevailing in summer.
