What reading level is Notes of a Summer Tour Among the Indians of the Southwest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Other agents had tried to interfere, but never with such a show of force as convinced the priests that they must give up their witch-hanging ceremonies or take the ribk of being hanged themselves. On one of the latest occasions, for example, the United States Marshal, who came over from Gallup to arrest the guilty parties, was given only twenty-five soldiers from Fort Wingate to assist him. All the effect of such a demonstration was to incite the Indians to more violence. They gathered with wha...t arms they could command, surrounded the troops, jeered at the officers, and had their own way generally until another body of men was sent from the Fort, and temporizing measures wound up the whole affair, no arrests being made.
The latest witch-hanging, I am glad to say, bore more serious fruit. Captain Nordstrom, who took charge of the agency about the time it occurred, assured the Indian Office that he could put a summary end to the whole business if properly supported, and called for four troops of cavalry.
